Here are three ideas to help you when placing your decals:
1) Bird strikes often occur when birds can see through one window, across the inside of your home or office, and out another window. In short, they think they can fly through your home or office. In this case, position your decals to block this line of sight.
2) Bird strikes occur when birds see open sky reflected in your window. This may occur, based on sunlight and the time of day, in certain windows of your home or certain areas of a large window. Use the decals to break up this reflection of open sky.
3) Male birds often stake out a particular territory. When they see their own reflection in your window, they mistake it for an intruder and attack. This is particularly true of the Northern Cardinal. Place the decals on the window under attack.
PLACE DECALS:
- One every two or three square feet across the glass (the more decals the better).
- On the exterior side of TINTED glass.
- On the exterior side of CLEAR glass (interior possible, but MUCH less effective).
- For maximum UV reflectivity, replace decals every 2 years.
