Since 1929, Colonel Selby Walker's initiative led to the establishment of the Inglewood Migratory Bird Sanctuary, marking Calgary's early dedication to avian conservation.

#BirdFriendlyCities #WMBD2025
As birds migrate at night, they use the stars to guide them. Bright lights from urban centres can draw birds off course. Once in these urban spaces, they risk colliding with glass. #BirdFriendlyCities

These large glass windows first caught my eye as a risk (we can’t unsee all the types of glass we have found birds) but was thrilled to notice the dots! The glass is fully and beautifully marked with a bird friendly dot matrix. Probably #FeatherFriendly. Highlighting bird-friendly products in popular media is extremely important. It normalizes its presence, and hopefully inspires far more people to ensure they are not part of the problem. Please point out such observations and thank the producers.
The dots are barely discernible behind this actor. But they are there and they are magnificent!! 👏👏👏. This is a zoomed in image of a TV screen showing O-T Fagbenle (playing Luke) in what appears to be a restaurant overlooking a park. Dots save birds. Producers who demonstrate their use save even more birds. Because more people will use dots! (Or other effective methods to keep birds from striking glass).
Photo of a TV screen with a paused image. Elizabeth Moss (Offred) and O-T Fagbente are sitting in a large room like a restaurant with large windows overlooking perhaps a park or rink. On the windows (celebrate with us!!) are patterned dots applied on the exterior with a density that will make a huge difference to birds that may otherwise strike the glass. Well done Margaret Atwood and the Producers of #TheHandmaidsTale!
Did you know celebrated @margaretatwood.bsky.social is a proponent of #BirdFriendlyCities & @naturecanada.bsky.social? It’s true! ❤️
Huge shoutout to the Producers of #HandsmaidsTail for including marked glass in a major scene! 👏. Helps to inspire its further use. Thanks!
