Window Gems
Save Birds, Beautifully!
Window Gems go on the outside of the window. Play the video below to see how they work.
Window Gems warn birds away from windows in time to avoid deadly contact.
- They are gorgeous, moveable, reusable and never fade.
- They have been tested and proven over many years.
- Made in Mount Shasta, California
- Bird strikes are one of the leading causes of bird death and declining avian populations. Fortunately, we have made it easy for you to protect your local birds.
Here’s the Science:
- The prismatic material we use refracts sunlight into a kaleidoscope of changing colors which birds’ eyes are quite sensitive to. As the bird flies near the Window Gem, the colors shift, warning him that this is something to be avoided.
- Window Gems physically break up the reflections on the surface of the glass. The textured lines embossed into the vinyl create a pattern that is very different from the smooth window, alerting the bird in time to veer away.
Birds are often not able to tell the difference between the reflected landscape that they see in a window, and their real surroundings. They are not trying to fly “through” the glass; they think that your window is a continuation of their world.
Our Window Gems are designed to go on the outside of windows to break up this reflection, and give birds visual cues that this is a shiny wall. They work beautifully. As birds fly toward a window protected with Gems, the reflections shift and move with their movements, while the Gems stay stationary. This warns them that something is wrong and gives them enough time to change direction before collision. Even in the shade without the added prismatic effect, they are incredibly effective.
