Annually, up to 1 billion birds die after colliding with windows. While there are plenty of window decals out there meant to alert birds to danger, most aren't attractive. But now students at the Tyler School of Art have created bird-themed window art. Ninety-six pieces of transparent film lined windows at Temple this spring, each donning an artful illustration designed to make the glass more visible to birds. "From the sublime to the whimsical, it was all very inventive,” says Alice Drueding, head of Graphic and Interactive Design at Tyler.
