so a couple months ago we put bird feeders in the backyard, which has attracted a bunch of birds... and ever since then, we've had about 6 or so casualties... where birds fly directly into the windows on the back of the house...fall to the ground and die, some end up in the pool. today, i heard a loud bang, thinking it was the kid from the house above throwing rocks again (happened before)... i went outside and the noise i heard was a significantly sized orange/black bird hitting the window... and was now on the sidewalk, suffering an unpleasant death. h:

So what should i do? If i somehow mount an owl on the roof... will this help? The windows are tinted, creating a mirror-like effect, which may be another cause.

EDIT: SAVE THE BIRDS h:

i'm not concerned about the markings on the window... how do i keep from killing the birds

 

at college we have bird stickers on some windows to prevent these things... not sure you'd want to put bird stickers on your windows tho h:

put an owl figure in front of those windows on the exterior of the house.

All you can do is skin them and then cook them... h:

That sucks... the windows at my old office complex were tinted.. there were ALWAYS dead birds around. Bugged me out a little.
