This does not mean that you should stop feeding birds. If you notice birds bouncing off your windows, you should take steps to eliminate the problem.
You can start by simply moving your feeders to new locations. Usually bird strikes occur at just one or a few windows, and moving feeders away from them may solve the problem entirely. You can try placing your feeders very close to the glass, if a feeder is just a foot or two away from a window, panicked birds may fly into it, but they will not have enough momentum to hurt themselves.
If you do not want to move your feeders or if relocating them does not solve your problem, you will need to alter the appearance of the problem window.
First, you need to determine exactly why collisions are occurring. Are birds confused because the window is reflecting the landscape behind, or because it is so transparent the birds think it is not there?
To find out, you will need to take a bird’s eye view. Go out to your feeder and look at the window. If you can see through it, the birds can as well. Is something inside the house attractive to birds, such as a plant? If so, try moving it. Is another transparent window located on the opposite side of the house? If it is, birds may envision a passageway through your living room. Try making the windows less transparent by pulling a shade, or open or close a aoor.
