Bird-Safe Window Film Michigan
Protect Wildlife. Preserve Your Building's Design.
Feather FriendlyR bird-safe window film helps Michigan properties dramatically reduce bird collisions while maintaining clear views, architectural aesthetics, and long- term sustainability performance. Ideal for campuses, corporate buildings, municipal facilities, and modern glass façades across Michigan.
The Problem: Glass Collisions Are a Serious Environmental Issue
Every year, millions of birds die from glass collisions, and highly reflective modern buildings are among the most significant contributors. Michigan sits directly along major migratory flyways, making bird collisions especially common during spring and fall migration
Why Collisions Happen
- Glass reflects the sky, trees, and surrounding landscape, making solid surfaces appear “open.”
- Birds cannot see transparent glass at all, only what’s behind it.
- Temporary fixes like stickers or tape are ineffective and do not meet sustainability standards.
- Recurring bird strikes create liability, maintenance issues, negative press, and conflict with ESG goals.

Common Questions About Bird-Safe Films
Bird--safe glazing enhances institutional sustainability initiatives and aligns strongly with Michigan’s environmental goals
Feather Friendly Markers are visible from the inside; Bird Divert is less visible than the Feather Friendly Markers.
No, feather-friendly markers do not significantly affect daylight or window clarity.
Feather Friendly Markers can last up to 15+ years when installed by a professional.
Feather Friendly® is designed to withstand regular window washings for many years. After the installation, allow the adhesive to set for 30 days before cleaning. You can then clean with a soft cloth, paper towels, or rubber squeegee, along with typical cleaning products for glass, including soap and water and glass cleaners like Windex. However, we recommend against using pressure washers or abrasive cleaners as those will cause the markers to come off.
Installing Feather Friendly Markers is significantly cheaper than replacing the glass.
