They can get “entrapped” in the light and circle a lit building endlessly. It also leads to disorientation and building collisions. And it fucks up their navigation.

I recently moved to a ritzy neighborhood and the amount of bright ass 24/7 lighting aimed right into the sky is infuriating. So many tiny trees pointlessly illuminated from their base.

I’d say it should be illegal, but I know a certain demographic would take that as a challenge to their freedumbs and put Broadway spotlights in their yard. Because fuck them birds.

Cities must absolutely wreck migratory birds.
