Animal India - Fulvous-breasted Woodpecker

A Fulvous-breasted Woodpecker (Dendrocopos Macei) Knocks On The Glass Window Of A House's Attic, Then, Intrigued By Its Reflection In The Glass, Tries To Make Sense Of It, Repeatedly Flying Back And Knocking On The Window At Tehatta, West Bengal, India On 30/12/2023. Bird-window Collisions (also Known As Bird Strikes After The Aviation Term Or As Window Strikes) Are A Problem In Both Low- And High-density Urban Areas Worldwide. Birds Strike Glass Because Reflective Or Transparent Glass Is Often Invisible To Them. Birds Can't Perceive Glass As A Barrier, And Often Strike Windows That Reflect The Sky Or Greenery. It Is Estimated That Between 100 Million And 1 Billion Birds Are Killed By Collisions In The United States Alone Each Year, With An Estimated 16 To 42 Million Fatalities In Canada.
