Birdlovers,
If we fit the windows of our homes with Acopian Bird Savers or other bird
collision inhibitors we save the lives of many, many, many birds. It has
reduced bird collisions with our windows by 99.9%. It's fairly easy and
inexpensive to do. Complete instructions are available online. Feel free to
contact me if you want to know more.
