At FLAP Canada, it’s our mission to inform and educate people to take actions that keep birds safe from daytime and nighttime bird-building collision threats; homes, workplaces or other built structures.
Over 25 million birds fatally collide with windows in Canada every year.
On October 5-11, join Global Bird Rescue (GBR) and help make the world safer for birds. GBR is an annual event hosted by FLAP Canada that raises awareness about the bird-building collision issue and inspires action to help mitigate this leading cause of bird death worldwide. To see how common this issue has become, follow our globalbirdrescue_bot on Twitter! 
Every time someone tweets about a bird hitting a window, the birdcrash_bot retweets them with universal illustrated instructions on how to help the bird.
GBR uses the Global Bird Collision Mapper (GBCM) to document bird-building collisions across the globe. If you find a dead or injured bird from a window collision, chart it using our mapper tool.
Have you noticed birds colliding with your home or cottage windows? Many homeowners aren’t even aware that birds hit their windows. Over 1 billion birds die every year across North America due to this threat. Homes and cottages are responsible for a vast majority of these deaths.
You can further help keep birds safe. Treat your windows in time for Global Bird Rescue to be entered into our BirdSafe® Contest where you could win 1 of 6 awesome prizes!
