Who would have thought Glass was dangerous to birds?

1) birds fly into our windows and seem fairly unharmed.

2)



wouldn't it kill the birds that have a higher chance of flying into windows, so future birds aren't harmed

Unfortunately, evolution takes so long to actually change a species, that it would be a couple of thousands of years at least before we started seeing only smart birds that did not fly into windows.

I beleive making a medicine that boosts the birdies intelligence would pretty much solve the bird-window problem.

Alright. So lets just use seagulls. Say every year, one million seagulls get killed by flying into a window. Now, lets say that in an average seagulls life, it produces 20 baby seagulls, 10 of which live to produce baby seagulls. Now lets say there are 100 million seagulls.
Hmm.. Seems like the seagulls will survive. Damn.

I say we need to speed up the evolutionary process a bit..

I personally dislike the sound of a bird thudding into a window in my vicinity. With a few exceptions (like pigeons) I like birds and they do a wonderful job of keeping the insect population in line (while I dislike insects some do play an important part).

Then we'd have ultra-intelligent birds to deal with. Perhaps still bitter from our glass-induced genocide.

Even if all birds die off, we still have clay pigeons.

On a related note, we had TWO birds smash into a window and die at school yesterday. Happened about 20 minutes apart.
