"Other collision's" kinda takes blame away from what's happening, its glass windows. This from wiki: "a 2024 study on the survival rate of bird-building collision victims indicates that previous research was vastly underestimating the number of deaths caused by collisions, and in actuality well over 1 billion birds die from collisions in the United States every year."

Fun fact, there's a layer they can put in glass that makes it visible to birds but not us, but its more expensive, so it isn't used most places!

    Not affiliated but this website is a perfect example: https://www.birdshades.com/

    There's a couple of other websites selling similar things, you can also buy UV film yourself to apply to your own windows. I first learned about it on Grand Designs!
