A study by NYC Bird Alliance and Fordham University revealed that only 40% of birds taken to wildlife rehab centers after window collisions survived, indicating previous death estimates were underestimated.
Lead author Ar Kornreich mentioned that 60% of birds ultimately die from collision injuries, contrary to the belief that stunned birds flying away may survive.
Smaller birds in NYC are at higher risk post-collision; lack of care increases the likelihood of quicker deaths for birds experiencing neurological damage or fractures.
