You know those Dixon china markers, the crayon things that are wrapped in paper that you peel off to "sharpen" it? You can draw lines with those on your windows if you have birds flying into them and breaking their necks.
Draw them about 3" apart, vertically, across your larger windows. #birds #birbs
