What can I do to stop Birds from flying into my tinted windows?

Question

I have tinted windows and the birds are always flying into them. It breaks my heart, as I can't put anything on the inside to stop them because they can't see it. Any advice on how to prevent birds from hitting windows? Thank you icon

Try the plastic decals that stick to the window inside or outside and can be purchased through catalogs or craft stores

Jan Clark · Answer

Yes! Decals will probably work but the sun will fade them. The birds are flying into the window because it is reflecting the sky. If you can reach the overhang you could hang just about anything from it -- rain chains to wind chimes, even decorative flags, to break up the space.

I like the decal idea. Especially gel decals. They can be peeled off and placed wherever you want. Sure, they will fade in time but are so inexpensive that it would not stop me from trying it. Plus you get to change what YOU look at!
