Three Ways to Enjoy Birds Without Leaving Your Home

April 13, 2020/in News, Take Action/by Lisa Horn

Spring is in the air. The grass is getting greener, robins are singing their hearts out, and a steady stream of migratory songbirds are passing by on their way to their breeding grounds.

April 1, 2020/in Take Action/by Lisa Horn

With the first few warm days of spring (and bird migration gearing up), it’s the perfect time to help protect the birds you love from a deadly threat at your home: a collision with glass.

Volunteer Spotlight: Audrey Duff

March 22, 2020/in Volunteer Spotlight/by FLAP Canada

How long have you been a FLAP volunteer? Donor since 1996, driver since 2014. In what capacity do you volunteer? Taking birds for medical treatment or for release back to the wild. What initially drew you to volunteer with FLAP? A newspaper article or maybe a FLAP ad about birds hitting windows downtown led me […]

The Surprising Culinary Adventures of Overwintering Warblers

March 4, 2020/in News/by Lisa Horn

The last few weeks of winter may have us longing for the warmth of spring and summer, and we aren’t the only ones thinking of the months ahead. Many of our favourite migratory songbirds, which have jumped ship and headed south to warmer climates for the winter, are now busy fattening up in preparation for […]

Getting Kids Excited About Birds and Conservation

February 23, 2020/in Our Impact/by Lisa Horn

It’s no secret that children are spending more of their day glued to screens and less time out in nature. There is even a term to describe the negative mental and physical health effects that children (and adults) face from a lack of meaningful connection with the natural world: nature deficit disorder. But a lack […]

What Happens to the Birds that Survive a Window Collision?

January 22, 2020/in News/by Lisa Horn

It’s a distressing reality that millions of birds continue to tragically die in Canada every year due to collisions with glass. Most of the birds that hit windows die on impact or soon after due to their injuries. But some birds simply appear to be stunned. Will these birds be ok? Many people think that […]

January 8, 2020/in News/by Lisa Horn

One little bird started it all. For Michael Mesure, FLAP Canada’s Executive Director, keeping birds safe in urban areas has been the focus of his life for the last 30 years. At the beginning of the New Year, I sat down with Michael to look back on 2019 and look forward to FLAP’s plans for […]

How one tiny bird changed my life in a big way

December 2, 2019/in News/by Michael Mesure

Thirty years ago, I was on a mission in downtown Toronto to understand the bird- building collision phenomenon.  I came across a common yellowthroat stunned but still alive at the base of a building, and in need of rescuing.  Ever so gently, I placed it in a brown paper bag, and drove with it to […]
