Bird Collision Memorial
Over 4,000 dead birds, victims of window collisions, arranged in a haunting display to highlight this widespread urban hazard. The installation draws attention to how human architecture affects bird migration. Volunteers collected these casualties during peak migration seasons, with researchers estimating up to one billion birds die annually from window strikes in North America. The arrangement serves both as scientific documentation and a call for bird-safe building designs. Studies show simple window modifications can reduce collisions by 90%.
