Birds and windows

[Regular.Cyclist]

Since moving to our new home 15 days ago we have had three birds, that we know of, fly into window. Two have been into the window in the front door and the other into a small window at the back of the property. In all cases they have flown away so don’t appear to have suffered serious injury but it’s impossible to know for sure.

Has anyone else had this issue and, if so, how did you solve it?

The only window that I've had birds fly into is kitchen window. It's not really in what I would consider a flight path but it's the only window without a net curtain!

I'm 67, and can only remember it happening once, in all the houses I have lived in during my life.

We've had more cases of birds getting inside the house (through an open window or door) and struggling to get out again.

In one of my old offices we had silhouettes of birds of prey on the problem windows, Seemed to work.

We had a starling fly into the bedroom window at full speed, the poor thing died, but it was because it was being closely followed by a kite with one it's pals in it's talons! I have never seen such a thing before, the kite was about 5 feet off the ground when it shot straight past me
