Do you have a WINDOW FEEDER set up yet? 👀 They HELP PREVENT WINDOW COLLISIONS by increasing the birds’ awareness of the window. And don't worry: if a bird gets startled at the feeder, it can't work up enough speed to hurt itself if it happens to bump the window. Window feeders also provide YOU with close-up views. Win-win! 🏆 Visit our webshop to see our selection of window feeders for seed or nectar: https://order.wbu.com/mcallen/bird-feeders/window-feeders (clickable link in our bio's link tree) To learn more about preventing window strikes, go to https://mcallen.wbu.com/how-to-prevent-bird-window-collisions Preventing window strikes is one of the 7 SIMPLE ACTIONS you can take to help #savethesongbirds.
