It's AumSum Time.
Why do Birds Crash into Windows?
Because they don't ring bells and walk through doors.
Oh AumSum.
It is estimated that close to a billion birds crash into windows.
And die in the US each year.
Firstly, researchers believe that just like humans.
Even birds are not able to see transparent glass.
Humans can anticipate the presence of transparent glass,
Based on some visual clues like frames or knobs.
But birds lack the ability to do so.
Secondly, it is believed that collisions occur more frequently.
During breeding season as birds after seeing their own reflection in the window.
Misjudge it for a different bird and attack it.
Lastly, it is also believed that birds perceive.
The reflected images in the glass to be real objects.
Hence collisions occur more often when glasses reflect images of food or shelter.
