I had a lot of luck with a super inexpensive and relatively nice-looking solution: Hang lengths of paracord from the outside at whatever distance intervals is advised - I think I did 6-8", but I looked it up somewhere online. The paracord is heavy enough that it won't blow around too much, but creates enough of a physical "obstacle" to the bird to make them not think it's a clear opening. Something dark like black or dark brown blends in nicely and doesn't look weird. ________________________________ From: Joanne Gabriel via CTBirds <ctbirds...> Sent: Monday, February 9, 2026 10:31 AM To: <ctbirds...> <ctbirds...> Subject: [CT Birds] Advice on products that will deter bird collisions
Looking for advice regarding effective products to reduce bird collisions in a residential setting with multiple windows. Is there a product that you would recommend to put on the outside of a window? I've looked at American Bird Conservancy's website, and am considering purchasing ABC BirdTape 2" Squares from Bird Friendly, which was one of the links on that website. Any opinions on that product or other recommendations?
