White Bird Tape for Windows (3/4 x 40' - Covers 2 to 3 Windows)

Why Do Birds Fly into Glass Windows?

Birds frequently collide with glass windows, a phenomenon that is primarily caused by the reflective characteristics of glass. Glass windows reflect the surrounding environment, which leads birds to perceive the glass as a clear flight path, rather than a solid barrier. This misconception can result in devastating consequences, as birds are often killed or severely injured in these collisions.

Researchers estimate that up to one billion birds die annually in the United States alone due to window collisions. These incidents can have a significant impact on local bird populations, and are a major concern for conservation efforts.

To address this problem, CollidEscape offers a range of products designed to reduce and prevent bird strikes on windows. Their bird tape products have been shown to reduce bird strikes by up to 85%, making them an effective solution for homeowners and building owners alike.

The key to CollidEscape's success lies in the "2 x 2 rule" – a guideline that describes the maximum distance between elements in bird-deterrent patterning. According to this rule, pattern elements should be no more than 2 inches apart, whether oriented in horizontal rows or vertical columns. This spacing helps to make the glass more visible to birds, reducing the risk of collisions.

In addition to the 2 x 2 rule, other guidelines for bird-friendly glass include:

1. Coverage: Bird-deterrent patterning should cover the entire surface of the window.
2. Surface placement: Markers should be applied to the outer surface of the glass, as this is more effective in mitigating bird-window collisions.
3. Spacing: Reduced spacing between pattern elements decreases the risk of strikes and casualties.

CollidEscape offers a variety of products to meet these guidelines, including bird tape and perforated window films in white, clear, and tinted options. These solutions are designed to be easy to install and cost-effective, allowing homeowners and building owners to protect birds without compromising the aesthetic appeal of their windows.

The inspiration for CollidEscape's products comes from nature itself – the spider web. Spiders weave a visible design of white, non-sticky silk into their webs, making it easier for birds to see and avoid the obstacle. Similarly, CollidEscape's bird deterrents create a "no-fly zone" for birds by reducing outdoor reflections and making the glass more visible to them.

By using CollidEscape's products, homeowners and building owners can play a vital role in preserving local bird populations and protecting these important components of our ecosystem. Whether you're looking to cover a single window or an entire building, CollidEscape has a solution to meet your needs and keep birds safe from harm.
