Wow. That's brilliant, good for him for his efforts. Something tells me he has the potential for a very bright future.

good idea

500 birds die in the oilsands.....500 million eat glass

good thing the Sierra Club has priorities.

There was this little story on the news last night claiming the reason birds fly into windows is because they're drunk from eating old berries.

I kid you not.

It's true,the berries freeze and then ferment,i can watch about 30 a day hammer into my window on this side of my house,if they dont break their neck they are usually sobered up in a few minutes(fast metabolism) and fly away.Saskatoons and mountain ash berries seem to be the best.I hang surveyor ribbon in front of my windows and it cuts down on the deaths a bit.
