US city to dim lights at night to make it safer for birds in flight

Joseph Kaczmarek/AP Bird Safe Philly announced that Philadelphia is joining a US-wide Lights Out initiative, a voluntary program in which as many external and internal lights in buildings are turned off or dimmed at night during bird migration seasons. The lights of US city Philadelphia might not shine as bright in the coming weeks as a coalition in the City of Brotherly Love tries to prevent millions of migrating birds that pass through twice a year from slamming into skyscrapers and crashing to the footpath. Bird Safe Philly on Thursday (local time) announced the Lights Out Philly initiative, a voluntary program in which as many external and internal lights in buildings are turned off or dimmed at night during the spring and autumn.

Campaign in US city to dim lights to prevent migrating birds from crashes

The US city of Philadelphia is dimming its lights to try and prevent migrating birds from slamming into skyscrapers and crashing onto pavements. Bird Safe Philly announced the Lights Out Philly initiative, a voluntary programme in which as many external and internal lights in buildings are turned off or dimmed at night during the spring and autumn. The problem of artificial lights attracting birds to their deaths in the city is not new. “We have specimens in the academy’s ornithology collection from a kill that happened when lights were first installed on Philadelphia’s City Hall tower in 1896,” said Jason Weckstein, associate curator of ornithology at Drexel University’s Academy of Natural Sciences.
