Short Wave · Migrating Birds Have a Big, Clear Problem · 22 Oct 2025 podcast

You said they were a big part of this.

Is there anything our listeners can do at home?

So Brian Lenz told me any window where you've ever heard that thunk, that needs to get treated.

So you might think of it as a one-off, but that window has been proven to be a problem.

And you may not be aware of everything that's happening there, right?

You're not at home 24-7.

Yeah.

And then think about windows that are near things that birds like bird feeders or bird baths or fruit trees.

And then, you know, you've got like things that could be big and reflective, like sliding glass doors or big picture windows.

I have a friend who recently went through this who just built a cabin on some water and like had this horrific experience over three or four days.

Three different birds hit the window.

And so after that, he was just like enough.

And he went out and got one of these products and put it up.

And since then, no problem.

There is everything from do it yourself options like just painting a window to fancier products you can buy.

Thank you for drawing our attention to these birds.

At night, I'm going to be thinking about them making this journey.

Yeah.

I mean, it's amazing how far they go.

The least we can do is to make their journey a little easier.
