Introduction
Birds crashing into windows is more common than most people realize, and it’s not only heartbreaking but also damaging to your windows. The good news? You can prevent this from happening! Whether you're a bird lover or just looking to protect your windows, this guide will provide simple, effective solutions to stop birds from flying into your glass windows. Plus, we’ll help you make your home safer for both birds and people.
Why Do Birds Fly Into Windows?
Birds typically collide with windows because they don’t recognize glass as a solid barrier. They are often drawn to the reflection of nature in your window, such as trees, sky, or nearby plants, which makes them believe they can fly through. The problem is exacerbated by clear, transparent glass that birds cannot see.
Reflections: Birds confuse reflections with open spaces.
Clear Glass: Birds can't detect clear glass as an obstacle.
Proximity to Bird Feeders: If your window is near a bird feeder or tree, birds are more likely to approach it.
Sadly, each year in the U.S., over one billion birds die due to window collisions. Fortunately, there's a simple way to make your windows safer for birds without sacrificing your view: FancyFix’s Window Film.

Unlike opaque films or decals, FancyFix’s film works by creating just enough contrast to signal danger to the birds while maintaining a sleek, modern look for your windows.

One of the best things about FancyFix’s Window Film is how easy it is to install. You don’t need any special tools or expertise—just apply it yourself in a few simple steps.

Not only does FancyFix’s Window Film keep birds safe, but it also enhances your home’s appearance. Our films come in a variety of elegant, modern patterns that can blend seamlessly with your decor, offering both safety and style.
How FancyFix’s Window Film Works
FancyFix’s Window Film works by breaking up the clear surface of your window, creating a pattern that birds can see. This alerts them to the presence of a barrier without obscuring your view.
Visible to Birds: The subtle patterns or frosted finishes help birds recognize the glass as a solid object.
Minimal Impact on View: You still get a clear, unobstructed view from the inside, while birds are able to see the window and avoid it.
Aesthetic Design: FancyFix’s films are designed with style in mind, so they’ll complement your home’s interior while keeping birds safe.
Other Solutions for Preventing Bird Strikes
While FancyFix’s Window Film is the top solution, here are other methods to consider:
1. Window Decals
Bird decals are a quick and affordable solution. They disrupt the glass’s transparency, making it visible to birds. However, decals might not be as sleek or long-lasting as window film.
Effectiveness: Moderate—effective but may need frequent replacement.
Aesthetic Impact: Minimal—decals can look a bit out of place or cluttered.
2. Window Screens or Netting
Screens and netting create a physical barrier between the bird and the glass. While effective, they may not be as aesthetically pleasing and can obstruct your view.
Effectiveness: High—permanent protection.
Aesthetic Impact: Moderate—can be noticeable and bulky.
3. Reflective Mylar Strips
Reflective materials like Mylar strips or aluminum foil can deter birds, but they may not be as effective in reducing collisions as FancyFix’s Window Film.
Effectiveness: Moderate—works best in windy conditions.
Aesthetic Impact: Minimal—can look temporary or out of place.
