Reply #124: board up the windows of your house, if you really want to save birds... [View All]

And throw away your birdfeeders, while you're at it.

Cats preferentially kill grounded birds -- the slow, the weak and the diseased -- because these are easier to catch. Your windows are more likely to kill the strong and swift.

And don't bother telling me about your flashtape decorations or hawk silhouette cutouts: those don't really work. They just exist to make "bird lovers" feel better about plopping their "big-windowed" dream house on a chunk of what used to be a productive natural habitat.
