You can help decrease the large number of birds killed every year in the U.S.
THE FACTS
2.4 billion birds are killed in the U.S. every year by outdoor cats.
253 million birds are killed in the U.S. every year by colliding with glass windows.
Lights after dark in buildings and homes can disorient migrating birds. Billions of birds migrate north and south every year, and most of them travel at night.
WHAT YOU CAN DO:

- Keep your cat indoors.

- Treat your windows to prevent bird collisions.

- Turn off unnecessary lights after dark.
