🎃 Did you know that Halloween can bring toil and trouble for birds?
Autumn is here, and while we’re decorating with gourds and ghouls, birds are navigating one of the busiest and most challenging times of year. Fall migration brings millions of birds through our neighborhoods, where they can encounter hazards including window collisions, artificial light, and toxic pesticides.
Help make your yard more treat than trick for birds this Halloween. Skip the fake spider webs outdoors, which can entangle birds and other wildlife. Treat your windows with decals, exterior screens, bird tape, or other methods that make glass more visible and reduce collisions. Avoid toxic garden chemicals, which can harm birds directly and reduce the insects and other food sources they rely on. And turn off unnecessary outdoor lights at night, which can disorient migrating birds and increase the risk of collisions.

Located in the middle of the Mississippi Flyway, Chicago welcomes huge numbers of migrating birds—like this Black-and-white Warbler—from across the hemisphere. Bird-friendly glass can help keep them safe from fatal collisions.

Bright artificial lights and reflections can disorient birds and cause them to collide with buildings or windows. The proposed Bird-Friendly Building Design Ordinance would mandate bird-friendly glass for new commercial buildings, larger residential buildings and major renovations of those buildings across Chicago.

Chicago is the deadliest US city for migrating birds—but you can help change that. This , if you live or work in the city of Chicago, sign Chicago Bird Alliance’s petition to let your alderperson know you want them to vote “yes” for the Bird-friendly Building Ordinance.
