This is a phenomenon to which many outdoor clubs may be exposed: that of birds killing themselves against the windows of ski slopes. padel.

Indeed, the back panes being completely transparent, the birds tend not to distinguish them and they often happen to come crashing into them. If they arrive quickly, the shock is simply fatal...

In the autonomous community of Aragon and more precisely in the town of Bubierca, one hour from Zaragoza, the regional council has found the solution.

Indeed, if Aragon is an incredible land of welcome for birds in search of freedom, for a few years, the government has been able to observe that a good number of these birds are crashing against the grounds of padel of the region.

The Department of Agriculture and the Environment has even carried out a study concerning this harmful phenomenon for the local fauna in three tracks of padel in Zaragoza and was able to count more than 100 dead birds in just one year! To remedy this scourge, the Region has decided to stick stickers on the windows to signal their presence to birds. Gray vertical bands which make think from the outside that the glass is in fact a grid.

And the result was surprising because in one year the club did not deplore any accident: a success rate of 100% for this project which was therefore extended to other municipalities.

So if you too have this bird problem in your club, you know what you have to do!
