    Energy + Environment Bird-building collisions are a significant issue, causing millions of bird deaths annually as birds fail to recognize glass windows as barriers. Recent research and technological advancements highlight the potential of ultraviolet (UV) light as a promising solution to this problem, leveraging the unique visual capabilities of birds. Most bird species possess the ability to see ultraviolet light, a spectrum invisible to humans.
