Protect birds and help with bird conservation efforts on the UW-Madison Campus during the Bird-safe Glass Fundraiser and Trivia Night. Grab your friends and join us for bird-related trivia and a short presentation about our fundraising effort to reduce bird-window collisions at UW-Madison’s Microbial Sciences building (learn more about that here!).

Window collisions are one of the biggest conservation issues that birds face — these collisions kill over a BILLION birds each year in the US. Our Bird Collision Corps volunteers identified UW-Madison’s Microbial Sciences as a hotspot for collisions, but we have a solution in the works: dot decals for one set of windows and a sound deterrent for another set. Both are shown to reduce collisions significantly, making the buildings they’re at safer for birds.

Southern Wisconsin Bird Alliance is partnering with Audubon Society - UW Madison, UW-Madison Forest and Wildlife Ecology, and the UW-Madison’s Office of Sustainability’s Green Fund for a fun, birdy trivia night at Delta Beer Labs. All donations made during the event going directly toward window treatments that prevent or reduce bird-window collisions.

No need to enter a “cause” — the Green Fund account is included in the link and will send your donation to our Bird-safe Glass project at Microbial Sciences.

Thank you for supporting bird conservation!
