Why Do Birds Hit Windows? 為什么鳥會(huì)撞上玻璃窗？

張寧

For birds it is very difficult to judge the glass windows. Billions of birds come across this around the globe each year. Most of the time after they collide1， they fly away， but later die due to internal2 bleeding3， especially in the brain.

What causes bird collisions4 with windows？ There are two main types of window collision. The first is during day time and the other is at night. During day time they see the reflection5 of the environment around on the glass and at night it is due to the street lights and multiple6 lighting reflection on the glass. They also collide with other solid7 structures due to extreme light in their way which distracts them from their path or due to foggy weather.

Please do take special precautions8 whenever you come across any collided and injured bird. Birds are very important for the environment. Save the Birds！

對(duì)于鳥類來說，判斷玻璃窗是非常困難的。每年全球都有數(shù)十億只鳥遇到這種情況。大多數(shù)情況下，它們?cè)谧驳胶髸?huì)飛走，但后來會(huì)死于內(nèi)出血，特別是顱內(nèi)出血。

是什么導(dǎo)致鳥撞擊玻璃窗？撞擊玻璃主要有兩種情況。一種在白天，另一種在晚上。白天，它們會(huì)在玻璃上看到周圍環(huán)境的影像，晚上則是因?yàn)槁窡艉投嘀責(zé)艄夥瓷湓诓Ａ?。由于飛行路上過亮的光線分散它們的注意力，或者是由于霧天，它們也會(huì)撞到其他的固體結(jié)構(gòu)。

當(dāng)你看到任何碰撞受傷的鳥時(shí)，請(qǐng)務(wù)必采取特別的預(yù)防措施。鳥類對(duì)環(huán)境非常重要。請(qǐng)救救鳥兒！
