BirdSafeMap

BirdSafeMap is a mobile + web app that helps people and property managers reduce bird-window collisions using simple, location-based reporting and practical mitigation guidance. Users log a collision (or “near miss”) with a photo, time, and building type; the app aggregates reports into a heatmap and generates a “risk score” for specific facades based on season, lighting, surrounding vegetation, and local migration periods. It then recommends realistic fixes (e.g., dot decals spacing, exterior shades, turning off lights during peak migration, moving feeders) and provides a checklist to track completion. The app is not a miracle: adoption is the hard part, and many buildings won’t care. So it focuses on places that do—campuses, municipalities, nature centers, and companies with ESG goals—by offering shareable reports and a lightweight compliance-ready export.
