A bald eagle is on the mend after crashing into a Pennsylvania home. Bird-versus-window collisions aren’t as rare as you may think, and animal experts say there are ways to try to prevent them from happening.
It was not a typical Tuesday for a family in Whitehall, Pennsylvania, when around 5:30 p.m. a bald eagle slammed into their front window and shattered the plate glass.
Whitehall police responded to the collision and found the eagle on the ground. Officers called a wildlife expert, but by the time she arrived it had flown off.Uhler said while it’s not common to see an eagle crash into a window, bird collisions are too common. Uhler said most windows are clear so birds try to fly right through them, or the windows give off a reflection that can also attract the animals.Uhler said installing windows with ultraviolet barriers can save the birds’ lives.
