"Blind to the purpose of the brute divine." -Better Love by Hozier.
This line in the song lives in my head rent free and it actually inspired me to do this whole series & specifically this piece. 'Cause it made me think about how when birds strike windows they have no idea what they have hit and that it must seem like a divine hand thats come out of nowhere and taken their life. Not that birds think abt the divine at all, but u get me.
Anyways, gettin on my soapbox:
@flapcanada on instagram has great resources to help out folks looking for ways to reduce bird window strikes! please go check them out if you are able! Bird window strikes in residential areas account for just SO MANY unnecessary bird deaths it is baffling. Birds are already experiencing population declines from the pressures of habitat loss/climate change/outdoor cats etcetcetc. It really helps to take steps to reduce window strikes where we are able.
Fall migration is ramping up here in north america so now is the perfect time to treat your windows if you have the time!
