Make Your Own Acopian BirdSaver
Saturday March 23, 2pm-4pm
Tracy Aviary’s Nature Center at Pia Okwai (1125 W 3300 S, South Salt Lake)
Windows are deadly for birds. It is estimated that up to one billion birds die in the United States each year in collisions with glass. These collisions happen everywhere there is glass, from the glass-covered tall buildings downtown to the small windows on all of our houses. In fact, it is estimated that 44% of all bird-window collisions happen at residences. Luckily, there are easy solutions to make windows visible to birds. Some people apply products like CollidEscape or Feather Friendly tape to add visible patterns to the glass itself. Others hang an Acopian BirdSaver over the surface of the glass. This aesthetically pleasing curtain of hanging paracord lines effectively decreases bird strikes. On March 23rd from 2pm-4pm, Tracy Aviary and the Great Salt Lake Audubon Bird-Window Collision Working Group will be hosting a Make-Your-Own Acopian BirdSaver event at Tracy Aviary’s Jordan River Nature Center (1125 W 3300 S, South Salt Lake). Come by anytime between 2pm and 4pm with the measurements of the windows on your house that you’d like to treat, and we’ll teach you how to create your own Acopian BirdSavers. Registration is required for this free event, and all supplies will be provided.
