During my time in the Wild Nest Bird Rehab center, I feel more of an appreciation for the songbirds that currently coexist within the human population in urbanized areas. I would also feel a little bit of guilt when it comes to the wild songbirds attempting to accommodate to scavenge for food in more urbanized places. Additionally, I would notice more when I would walk to class, the amount of birds that would peck and eat food left by people on the roads or sidewalks instead of the bugs in and on the soil. Moreover, I began to pick up more of a habit the type of species of songbirds that tend to stay on the Georgia State University Atlanta Campus, which usually consisted of American Robins, Brown Thrashers, and Rock Pigeons. In addition, I would notice more of the number of birds that would have fatal window strikes within the Georgia State University around the campus. I would notice this more so at the Science petite building and Library North. This has been a concern for me before but volunteering with the Wild Nest Bird Rehab has made me more aware of the impacts of urbanization and a lot of buildings and businesses having the need to have more windows for the “modern” look. With this in mind, I would see how many of the birds that get turned in to the Wild Nest Birds Rehab center, that make it once while being transported to the center; However, there’s a very small chance that the bird is able to heal to get released with very little or no complications that would jeopardize their chances for survival. This would also give me a bit of emotional turmoil because the birds are simply trying to survive and usually die at higher rates from window collisions as compared to wild house cat attacks. These concerns eventually motivated me to discuss about these things with my Biology professor. In turn, he was able to provide me with connections to bring up an idea to Georgia State University’s board to discuss how to have more preventative measures of the amount of birds who would hit the glass windows of various on campus buildings to prevent the steady increasing rates of birds dying from the fatal window collisions. As of right now, my main idea is to collaborate with some Georgia State University art students to paint on the windows with certain patterns, such as circles, silhouettes of birds or insects, or other designs that could represent Georgia State, like Pounce, GSU slogans, or GSU’s logo. Overall, this would help reduce the amount of birds who would die from fatal window collisions on campus. Moreover, I like how my time at the Wild Nest Bird Rehab makes me more aware of how much of human impact has on bird species, especially in urbanized areas.
