  • The **Fatal Light Awareness Program (Flap)** reports that a significant number of birds, estimated in the billions, die annually from window collisions, particularly during migration periods.
  • Volunteers like **Sohail Desai** and **Yuko Miki** share their personal experiences and the emotional challenge of picking up birds, stating they find joy in saving those still alive.
  • Flap advocates for **bird-friendly building designs** and practices, like using patterned glass, closing curtains at night, and turning off lights to prevent bird fatalities.
