Federal Bird Safe Building Act

It is estimated that about 1 billion birds are lost to window collisions annually. A new bill was introduced to require that all new or significantly altered federal buildings be built using bird friendly designs and materials. The bill is currently in the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee. You can read more about it here. It needs your help- tell your members of Congress to support the bill by clicking on the button below.
