OK, so, this is ultra near & dear to our hearts! Birds Of A Feather is a part of our collaboration with 5 badass Pittsburgh women artists on a project in conjunction with the Carnegie Museum of Natural History to support their avian conservation and research, which includes work with BirdSafe Pittsburgh.
Your purchase of this and any of the 5 artists' BirdSafe-inspired products helps us to support the museum's bird conservation efforts. For example, our donations help pay to rehabilitate stunned birds and operate the flight tunnel to test bird-safe windows.
According to the American Bird Conservancy’s bird-friendly building guidelines, buildings can be designed in such a way to mitigate bird collisions. Individuals can also accessorize their windows with netting and closely spaced decals to make them bird-friendly. Overall, BirdSafe Pittsburgh aims to bring attention to this issue by directly involving local residents in research while sharing collected data with scientific and public audiences. To this end, BirdSafe Pittsburgh will research and reduce bird-glass collisions and educate the community to make Pittsburgh and beyond a better, safer world for birds.
