For the birds

  By Victoria McDonald

After years of picking up dead birds that have broken their necks after hitting my windows, I might have found something that will prevent their deaths.

Online I found bird decals in leaf shapes that reflect ultraviolet sunlight and can be seen by birds. The decals are cloudy but not colored and stick on the outside of windows (although some blow off after a storm but can be re-applied). One company sends them through the post office, so I'm not paying much for shipping them from California. They've been on for 2 or 3 weeks and so far, no dead birds.
