Bird-Safe Business Participants

The skies are safer for migrating birds thanks to the dedication and exceptional efforts from the following organizations. These companies have chosen to follow the Wisconsin Humane Society's Wildlife Rehabilitation Center guidelines and reduced the chance of birds being injured by employing light reductions at night and using products specially designed to stop daytime collisions.



Schlitz Audubon Nature Center used bird-safe designs when building their new Environmental Learning Center. They also use window treatments as needed to prevent bird window collisions and turn their interior lights off at night to prevent nighttime collisions.
   

The Urban Ecology Center has minimized migratory bird collisions by installing specialized window treatments on their new resource center and classroom's windows. They have also employed light reduction techniques.

   

The Wehr Nature Center minimizes night lighting between the hours of 11:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m., has employed alternate lighting techniques and installed exterior window treatments to prevent window collisions. They've also reduced perimeter lighting and re-programmed automatic lighting timers to only light the building during operational and cleaning hours.

   
The Greenfield Wild Birds Unlimited store minimizes night lighting (lighting visible through exterior windows) between the hours of 11:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. during migration periods (mid-August through October, and mid-March through May). After 11:00 p.m. during migration periods, they move any activities requiring light to interior rooms or use low-intensity task lighting like desk lamps. They also apply window treatments to their windows to reduce daytime collisions.
   
The Wisconsin Humane Society reduces migratory bird collisions by extinguishing interior night lighting and reducing exterior night lighting between 11 p.m. and 7 a.m. during migratory periods. WHS also applied window clings and installed BirdScreens to low-level windows to reduce daytime collisions.
