our journey at bird divert
At Bird Divert, we believe in the power of coexistence - the idea that our human actions can seamlessly integrate with the natural world. Our journey is a testament to this belief.
Our story began with a simple realization: that our actions, even in urban areas, have a significant impact on the lives of birds. The reflection of glass windows was causing fatal collisions, and it was a call to action. We felt a profound sense of responsibility to protect these magnificent creatures.

How we work
The Relationship between Birds and Windows
Glass collisions have a devastating impact on both common and rare bird species. Addressing this large-scale problem requires bold ideas, collaboration, and innovation. ABC works to reduce bird collisions by advocating for bird-safe legislation, testing new glass technologies, and educating architects, developers, and homeowners. Together, we can create a safer world where glass no longer poses a major threat to birds.
How to Decrease Bird Collisions
Bird Divert offers solutions for retrofitting existing buildings, designing bird-friendly new construction, and supporting bird-safe legislation.
Not all bird collisions are fatal—some birds are only stunned. Place the bird in a small, towel-lined box and keep it warm, dark, and quiet, as recommended by Portland Audubon’s Wildlife Care Center. Check on it after one hour. If it has recovered and can fly, release it. If not, take it to the Wildlife Care Center or a nearby wildlife rehabilitation facility.
