Bird Screen - Concerns

  1. Safety Issues:

    For most birds that hit your window, it will be fatal. Even if they fly away, they often die later from their injuries, or because they have become easy prey. These will not happen when you have a screen that makes them bounce off.
  2. Behavioral Issues:

    Some birds are territorial, so when they see themselves in your window, they attack "the other bird". Also, windows will reflect the outside, so a bird will not realize that he is flying into the window. For this reason, we need to protect them.
  3. Convenience:

    If you choose wisely it is very convenient to use these screens. The window screens have been made for ease of cleaning and not to interfere with the operation of the window.

Bird Screen - How to Choose

    The window screens will cost between $5.00 and $20.00. The running foot will run from $2.00 to $4.00 per foot.
  3. Other Items You Might Need:
