Hundreds of birds die from crashing into windows of buildings on our campus, and as expansion of high risers and office buildings in Philadelphia increase, this problem will only continue to escalate.
Daniel Featherston, the faculty advisor for PAW, is working with Audubon, the Philadelphia Zoo, and some Temple people to reduce the deaths of the wild bird population during their migratory and seasonal travels.
If you want to get involved, you can help install patterns on windows at Paley for one day for a few hours in a week or two. These patterns were applied to windows at the Philadelphia Zoo, and are working.
