American Bird Conservancy

ABC is the only national organization with a program dedicated to addressing the problem of bird mortality caused by collisions with buildings. Our publication, Bird-friendly Building Design, published in 2011, explains in straightforward terms why birds hit glass, what features make certain buildings more prone to bird collisions, and the science behind the collision phenomenon. Most importantly, the book provides cost-neutral solutions for new building construction and reasonable ways that existing buildings can be retrofitted to make them bird-friendly.
