There is nothing quite so distressing and headache-inducing for our feathered friends than when their flight paths unintentionally collide with a window or patio door. Placing silhouettes on these transparent barriers will deter any winged wonders from unfortunate accidents, whilst also adding a nice decorative touch to your windows this summer.
Follow our 4 simple steps on our handy resources below to prevent bird strikes at home.
