Article: Acopian BirdSavers are simple paracord curtains that you can install quickly and easily outside your windows to deter bird crashes. They consist of a series of evenly spaced vertical cords that hang in front of the window. Order BirdSavers in the right sizes for your windows and follow the included installation instructions.  Acopian BirdSavers are highly effective bird deterrents, and are recommended by the American Bird Conservancy based on extensive testing. You can purchase BirdSavers made to order of your windows here: https://www.birdsavers.com/. If you’d rather make your own BirdSavers, you can easily do so with a little dark-colored paracord and some vinyl j-channel. Measure the width of your window frame and cut the j-channel to the right width. Next, drill enough holes in the j-channel that you can hang the cords vertically across your entire window with about 4 inches (10 cm) of space between each one. Insert the cords through the holes and knot them at the top so they hang at the desired length.  You can mount the j-channel to the top of your window using screws or adhesive Velcro strips. As an alternative to j-channel, try using a piece of PVC pipe or a strip of wood molding. You can also use another piece of paracord as the top horizontal piece. Bird Crash Preventers are another system tested and approved by the American Bird Conservancy. These consist of a simple nylon grid that is highly visible to birds but nearly invisible to humans. Purchase Bird Crash Preventers in the right size for your windows and install them using the included screws and brackets.
