Designing Bird-Friendly

 

Each year in Illinois we lose thousands of birds due to collisions. Studies have shown that by implementing bird-friendly design parameters, collision deaths can be reduced by up to 90 percent. As building designers, architects are key to addressing and mitigating these issues.
