Ottawa boy's invisible invention warns birds about deadly windows
- JacobAldridge 18y agoGreat idea, seemingly simply to implement...and, alas, copy. I hope he gets some marketing / business support quickly, or at least recognition by the company that starts selling these. I'd buy a set of 3 just to stop the annoying noise birds keep making when they kill themselves trying to fly through my living room.
- kqr2 18y agoActually, it appears the UV reflective decals are already available. I'm not sure if the Ottawa boy's are substantially different. http://www.mmdnewswire.com/uv-reflective-decals-stop-birds-from-crashing-into-windows-3626.html http://www.mmdnewswire.com/uv-reflective-decals-stop-birds-f... You can order them for $9.95: http://www.duncraft.com/Window-Strike-Solutions-C227.aspx http://www.duncraft.com/Window-Strike-Solutions-C227.aspx
- eelco 18y agoThat's hilarious, you can buy like 20 different designs of stickers that are almost transparent to human eyes? I'm sure the Ottawanian boy can still have a piece of the market for these things. At least until every dangerous window has a decal ;)
- rjprins 18y agoSo far, Sobcov has tested his flying falcon-shaped decals on the sunroom of a cottage neighbouring his family's cottage. "Immediately the birds stopped flying into those windows," he said. Haha, awesome..
- symptic 18y agoI'm not sure his test is statistically significant, but I can't blame him for not testing as thoroughly as I'd like, or even knowing to. :P If his is literally invisible he's got it made. I can't see anyone wanting to have translucent images and shapes on their windows.
- wallflower 18y agoSome of the birds around here eat berries that ferment in their stomach and they basically DUI and smack into windows. It's disturbing.
