HERE ARE SOME TIPS TO HELP PROTECT BIRDS IN DRIPPING SPRINGS!

REDUCING BIRD COLLISIONS WITH BUILDINGS:

• Install bird-friendly glass or window treatments such as decals, screens, or UV-reflective films.
• Keep blinds or curtains closed when not needed to reduce reflections.
• Place feeders and plants away from windows to prevent birds from flying into them.

KEEPING CATS INDOORS:

• Encourage neighbors to keep their cats indoors, especially during dawn and dusk when birds are most active.
• Provide cats with stimulating indoor environments to reduce their desire to roam.
• Use collars with bells to give birds warning of a cat's approach.

CONTROLLING INVASIVE SPECIES:

• Identify and remove invasive plant species from your yard or local parks to restore native habitats.
• Support conservation organizations working to control invasive species through habitat restoration and management.

DARK SKY LIGHTING SOLUTIONS:

• Use downward-facing, shielded outdoor lights to minimize light pollution.
• Install motion sensor lights to reduce unnecessary nighttime illumination.
• Utilize curtains or blinds at night to reduce indoor light pollution and aid migrating birds' navigation.
