November 28, 2022/in News, Take Action/by FLAP Canada

By Brendon Samuels, Ontario Building Code Campaign Coordinator Unprecedented changes are happening in Ontario under Bill 23, but what do they mean for birds? Bill 23 will erode environmental protections under the guise of solving the housing crisis, yet the Bill offers virtually nothing to increase affordable housing. Read the joint statement by FLAP Canada […]

The Winding Path of Advocating for Bird Friendly Buildings

September 19, 2022/in Guest Post/by FLAP Canada

By Brendon Samuels If you follow FLAP and are reading this, then you probably care about conserving birds in your community. Unfortunately, there are a lot of buildings already out there, and others still being constructed, that pose a great risk of birds colliding with windows. Until existing building windows are retrofitted, or new buildings […]

How to Stop Birds From Attacking Windows

May 5, 2022/in Take Action/by FLAP Canada

You’re enjoying some blissful sleep, when suddenly, you’re woken by an incessant tapping at your window. Cozy and content in your warm refuge, you try to ignore it, hoping it will soon stop. It doesn’t. Begrudgingly, you get out of bed and open your blinds to find a bird at your window, aggressively fighting an […]

How long have you been a FLAP volunteer? Approximately 10 years. In what capacity do you volunteer? Downtown Toronto patroller. I walk around the downtown core for 1-2 hours looking for birds that have collided with buildings. Too often they are dead but enough are alive to keep up the optimism. What initially drew you […]

The Invisible Cabin: A Deadly Illusion for Birds

February 3, 2022/in News, Take Action/by FLAP Canada

Environmentally conscious would-be vacationers are being misled by false promises. Clever marketers paint an irresistible picture of a novel and eco-friendly retreat. “Come immerse yourself in nature!” they say. In the middle of an unspoiled forest, you can stay in a supposedly ‘green’ cabin, which, with its mirrored exterior, is specifically designed to camouflage perfectly […]

High collision mortality documented during winter and migration spurs conservation action at the University of British Columbia. By Krista De Groot Most collision research has occurred during fall and spring migration in the eastern half of North America, creating both a seasonal and a regional bias in published results. However, after conducting collision research across […]
