As the last warm days of summer begin to fade, we ask the community to think about our bird friends who are starting to migrate through Virginia. There are many ways to give them the best chance of survival. And, these great tips don’t stop at home. If you work in a building that has large windows, encourage management to make some easy (and energy efficient) changes to help with safe migration. Win-win for all!
Here’s how you can help:
🐦Reduce indoor lights and close blinds at night
🐦Use motion detecting lighting outside
🐦Use decals or deterrents on windows to prevent bird strikes
🐦Report injured birds to wildlife experts
🐦Encourage your workplace to adopt these measures
Let’s all do our part to ensure a successful migration!
