CollidEscape BirdTape
CollidEscape BirdTape is a clear or white adhesive strip designed to reduce glass reflectivity and transparency, making windows more visible to birds. Its surface is perforated with thousands of tiny holes that let light pass through, minimizing visual disturbance.
Options

Effectiveness
CollidEscape BirdTape has been tested and approved by the American Bird Conservancy. It is estimated to reduce collisions by 85% when applied to the outside surface of windows and spaced two inches apart. Larger spacing reduces the effectiveness.
Cost
The cost will vary based on the width of the BirdTape used. Treating a 3′ x 5′ window with 3/4″-wide BirdTape will require approximately 65 feet of tape, for a cost of around $36. Wider tapes are more cost effective: 3″-wide BirdTape would require just 35 feet of tape, costing around $25.
