Screens work well. VINS sells decals that alert birds to solid objects which also help.

I tried to get to it before my dogs did, but as I found brain (I think) matter on the stairs under where she hit, I'm pretty sure it didn't matter that they got to her first. 2 summers ago, we changed some many-paned old windows to big plate glass ones, and now I wish I had kept the impossible to open and clean windows. I certainly won't be changing any of the others or feeling bad that they need cleaning anymore.

I'd already taped anything I could find over the biggest window that I'd seen feathers stuck to earlier this spring, but for some reason didn't realize the kitchen window was going to be such a problem since it's not as large.
