Abstract
Collisions between birds and buildings are a common phenomenon given the increasinganthropogenisation of the environment and the emergence of human settlements along travelingroutes of species migration. Glass surfaces, which are increasingly frequently used in modernconstruction engineering, appear to be particularly dangerous in this aspect, as birds may notrecognise them as obstacles even during the day. In this paper, the results of a study of collisionsbetween birds and different types of buildings in the urban zones with low, medium and highproportions of green areas in buildings were analysed.The highest number of collisions was observed for buildings located near enclaves of vegetation,characterised by high biological diversity. The presence of distractors on the glazing hada significant impact on reducing the number of collisions.
