Awareness of this leading threat to bird populations is increasing in the Ottawa-Gatineau area, but
we have a long way to go here to catch up with other cities like Toronto, New York, San Francisco
and Vancouver, which are among the growing number of jurisdictions to introduce bird-safe
building guidelines. There are many collision-deterrence products and strategies available for both
commercial and residential buildings were just not seeing eective measures being applied
locally.
Since Ottawa volunteers began patrolling for injured and dead birds in April 2014, they have
documented 74 species killed by collisions, including two Species at Risk Wood Thrush and
Canada Warbler. Others range from the tiny Ruby-throated Hummingbird to a Barred Owl.
Because the birds are frozen, FLAP volunteers will begin laying them out at 6 p.m. and pack them
up starting at 9 p.m. Following the display, the specimens will be donated to museums and other
institutions for research and educational purposes.
