Many of you have probably experienced a bird striking your window at some point in your lives. Downtown, birds face a much bigger threat, as during the day they are unable to discern that clear or reflective glass is solid and at night they effectively become trapped by walls of light.\nThis risk also becomes much higher during bird migration periods. Mirrored glass is particularly dangerous for birds and illuminated buildings at night can also unintentionally attract night-migrating birds.\nCanada is home to over 600 species of birds and these populations are considered to be increasingly threatened. Approximately 25 million birds are killed in Canada every year due to collisions with glass. Building design plays a key role in many, if not most of these deaths. Many major cities across Canada are already taking steps to reduce the risks by adopting the national bird-friendly building design standard established by the Canadian Standards Association.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":296888451,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_price":"","_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_header":"","_tribe_default_ticket_provider":"","_tribe_ticket_capacity":"0","_ticket_start_date":"","_ticket_end_date":"","_tribe_ticket_show_description":"","_tribe_ticket_show_not_going":false,"_tribe_ticket_use_global_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_global_stock_level":"","_global_stock_mode":"","_global_stock_cap":"","_tribe_rsvp_for_event":"","_tribe_ticket_going_count":"","_tribe_ticket_not_going_count":"","_tribe_tickets_list":"[]","_tribe_ticket_has_attendee_info_fields":false,"_classifai_error":"","_classifai_text_to_speech_error":"","apple_news_api_created_at":"","apple_news_api_id":"","apple_news_api_modified_at":"","apple_news_api_revision":"","apple_news_api_share_url":"","apple_news_cover_media_provider":"image","apple_news_coverimage":0,"apple_news_coverimage_caption":"","apple_news_cover_video_id":0,"apple_news_cover_video_url":"","apple_news_cover_embedwebvideo_url":"","apple_news_is_hidden":"","apple_news_is_paid":"","apple_news_is_preview":"","apple_news_is_sponsored":"","apple_news_maturity_rating":"","apple_news_metadata":"\"\"","apple_news_pullquote":"","apple_news_pullquote_position":"","apple_news_slug":"","apple_news_sections":[],"apple_news_suppress_video_url":false,"apple_news_use_image_component":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[18,20,21,13],"tags":[],"education-subject":[],"media-literacy-topic":[],"post_topic":[],"content_type":[24],"class_list":["post-575778521","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-correspondents","category-west","category-news","category-souwester"],"acf":{"short_title":"","seo_title":"","deck":"","story_tag":"","byline":"Kevin Klein","updates":null},"apple_news_notices":[],"parsely":{"version":"1.1.0","canonical_url":"https:\/\/winnipegfreepress.com\/our-communities\/souwester\/2021\/11\/19\/city-adopts-bird-friendly-building-standard-2","smart_links":{"inbound":0,"outbound":0},"traffic_boost_suggestions_count":0,"meta":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","headline":"City adopts bird-friendly building standard","url":"http:\/\/www.winnipegfreepress.com\/our-communities\/souwester\/2021\/11\/19\/city-adopts-bird-friendly-building-standard-2","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"http:\/\/www.winnipegfreepress.com\/our-communities\/souwester\/2021\/11\/19\/city-adopts-bird-friendly-building-standard-2"},"thumbnailUrl":"https:\/\/www.winnipegfreepress.com\/our-communities\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/04\/e-col-klein-nov171.jpg?w=150&h=150&crop=1","image":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https:\/\/www.winnipegfreepress.com\/our-communities\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/04\/e-col-klein-nov171.jpg"},"articleSection":"Community Correspondents","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"feedloaderapi"}],"creator":["feedloaderapi"],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Our Communities","logo":""},"keywords":[],"dateCreated":"2021-11-19T21:04:00Z","datePublished":"2021-11-19T21:04:00Z","dateModified":"2021-11-19T21:05:11Z"},"rendered":"
