Around 600 million birds die every year in the United States after striking tall buildings, according to new research
Around 600 million birds die every year in the United States after striking tall buildings -- with Chicago, Houston and Dallas being especially deadly, according to research from the Cornell Lab of Ornithology.
Attracted to the artificial light in high-rise blocks, birds can become disorientated and crash into walls -- many of which are made of glass -- suffering injury and often death. The issue is particularly stark during migratory seasons in spring and fall, when billions of birds pass through the central United States on their way between Canada and Latin America, according to the ornithology lab, which has just issued a list of the most dangerous cities for migrating birds.
