Product Description
FeatherGuard Window Sticker booklet reduces window strikes. It has been estimated that as many as 975 million birds are killed each year in North America in collisions with glass windows and buildings because the glass reflects the sky and habitat around it almost perfectly, creating a deadly optical illusion. Flying birds cannot discern between these reflections and reality, and the resulting collisions between bird and glass are always serious and often fatal to the birds. FeatherGuard is uniquely effective because it combines bright color, motion and the birds natural aversion to loose feathers. In nature loose feathers are often a sign that a bird has been killed by a predator. Try FeatherGuard today and make your windows safer for your wild birds. Each package includes one 6-feet FeatherGuard.Bird Watchers Digest DM651 Featherguard Window Sticker Booklet Review
I have a window that is 5' tall x 32" wide and about 3' away from a bird feeder. Birds (finches, cardinals, doves) flew into the window a few times each week, but weren't killed. There are also windows on either side of this window, but the birds rarely hit these since they aren't in their normal flight path when leaving the feeder in a hurry.Reinforcement needed:
About 3 days after I hung the feathers outside, the string came detached from both suction cups and blew off. The suction cups remained on the window. After re-attaching the string to the suction cups, I used glue to reinforce every connection. I did this for the feathers as well, since one of the feathers had split and came loose from the string.
Not effective after the birds grew familiar with it:
At first, I thought this product was effective in stopping birds from hitting the window. However, two weeks after it was installed, 4 Goldfinches birds hit the window (not fatally) in the space between the feathers and the window trim. It seems that it lost its effectiveness once the birds got used to seeing it there. Just in case I had too large of a space, I hung a second feather guard in the same window. Later that same day, another Goldfinch hit the window barely an inch away from one of the feathers. Perhaps this product is better for feeders that are further away from a window.
Other options:
For a more permanent, although pricier solution, I recommend CollidEscape. This is a window film that looks white from the outside, but only slightly darkens the view from the inside. I used this on another window that birds hit frequently, with about 6 deaths per year. One month later, it has been 100% effective in eliminating bird strikes.
