A land bird flew into my window so hard I was worried it died this morning. This happens once a month to my knowledge and I don’t spend long in my bedroom outside sleeping. Land birds aren’t smart outside of a few select species lol
In all seriousness that’s more of a sensory limitation than an intelligence limitation. IIRC birds’ eyes work differently from mammals and they can’t see glass pretty much at all.
Like what? It’s a bay window like any other, I have blackout curtains drawn across it most of the time so I can sleep past 6. I’m not putting any stickers or anything on it that the hoa will get pissy about
I agree, but not to go on a road trip to Manitoba :P
I actually did the math, and for how loaded the car was and how many people we brought, it was both cheaper and more eco-friendly to take a car that gets 42 MPG on that road trip than take a plane to Winnipeg.

Yea I know, more fun to just imagine they’re dumb though
Wtf. Would you please do something about that?
What do you want him to do, start a bird college?
Are you implying that helping birds avoid windows is an unsolved problem?
Yes. The only “solution” that we’ve found is to make the window with a “frosting effect,” which humans don’t like because we can’t see through that.

Why would you say something so blatantly silly?
The only course they run is bird law

I’d discuss options with the HOA, but you do you.
Funny story, never hit a bird with my car in Quebec, until I drove into Manitoba, where I proceeded to wack 3 in 2 days.
Birds seem to be stupid by region.
You probably should drive less or get an electric bike.

The same bird???
Possibly, I didn’t see a corpse in my garden so I’m guessing it lives
That’s less them being stupid and more their eyes are on the side of their head so they can’t see directly in front of them.
