Flaco The Owl: The Experts Weigh In
BIRD HUGGER - A podcast by Catherine Greenleaf - Thursdays
Today we are joined by Catherine Quayle of the Wild Bird Fund, Christine Sheppard from the American Bird Conservancy and New York State Senator Brad Hoylman-Sigal to discuss the phenomenon that was Flaco the Owl. We discuss this bird's celebrity status and how Flaco's death could have been prevented. State Senator Hoylman-Signal offers legislative solutions to glass windows, which kill one billion birds every year in the U.S. Did you know that 44% of all bird collisions with glass occur at your average home?
