Hi Lin, One such UV-reflective film is CollidEscape, available through the Fatal Light Awareness Program. Details here: http://www.collidescape.citymax.com/page/page/6049375.htm

In reply to Georgia Weatherhead. Hi Georgia, and thanks for doing this. Scientists can do the work to find solutions to problems, but it takes the rest of us to put them into practice. The help of interested people like you is just as important.

Do resident geese living around airports learn from their parents about airplanes and to avoid them? Something a migrant from a more wild area would have no clue about?

“How many ornithologists does it take to change a light bulb?”

What a hoot!

I needed a laugh today, thanks.

Great read BTW.

I am going to give this info to our grounds keeper and director of our 2000 apartment community. All 12 buildings are connected by glass enclosed bridges. Alot of dead birds are picked out of the plantings.
