Abstract: "Unnatural mortalities are a major ecological issue for avians, with window collisions causing the second highest number of annual mortalities at nearly 600 million deaths. Birds often struggle with understanding windows due to a variety of variables including cleanliness, environmental reflections, and individual avian reflections. Collisions often result in injuries and easily cause death. Collision-prevention stickers can be added to windows to assist birds with seeing the windows as an obstacle while minimally obscuring the window for humans. Education and spreading awareness aids in encouraging the obtaining of collision-prevention stickers and being mindful of building architecture. This project’s main components included a classroom PowerPoint and oral presentation, a physical research-style poster, and this final written report."
