About Bird Safe Philly
Up to one billion birds are estimated to collide with buildings and other human made structures in the U.S. every year, and billions of additional birds probably collide with buildings each year in other parts of the world. These collisions occur because artificial light at night and/or glass cause birds to fly into buildings and other human made structures. Unfortunately, most of these collisions are fatal.
The Bird Safe Philly partnership aims to create safe spaces for birds by developing awareness of the issue of bird collisions and implementing solutions, working in partnership with the Philadelphia community. Through Lights Out, Collision Monitoring, and Taking Action, Bird Safe Philly strives to engage individuals, organizations, and the community in better understanding bird collisions and the solutions that can be implemented to help prevent these collisions.
