NYC set to require 'bird-friendly' glass on new construction.

New York City lawmakers are poised to adopt legislation requiring “bird-friendly” glass on all new construction to cut down on the tens of thousands of birds who die flying into the city's buildings every year.
Groups that monitor bird populations said they are thrilled at the prospect of the legislation's adoption in New York City. New York City Audubon estimates that 90,000 to 230,000 birds from hawks to hummingbirds are killed every year from flying into New York City buildings. An example of a bird-friendly building is the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center on Manhattan's west side, where glass imprinted with patterns that was installed during a 2015 renovation reduced bird deaths by 90%, according to NYC Audubon.
