How to choose the right size Bird Screen for your windows.

Width

 

The Bird Screen should cover most of the glass area of your window. (Experience has shown that a few inches on either side, top, or bottom of exposed glass does not present a danger to birds.) It can be slightly smaller in width than the glass area or slightly wider. If using the suction-cup brackets on a window that opens by swinging outward, the Bird Screen should be narrower than the window frame.

24" Bird Screens can fit windows as narrow as 21".

For larger windows, multiple Bird Screens can be hung side-by-side (The maximum width of one Bird Screen is 3 feet).

Length

 

Standard Model

 

If ordering the new model, it comes with six feet of screening which you will cut to fit your window height.

NOTE: If your window is more than 48" high, we recommend using Mid-screen Frames to ensure enough tension in the middle of the screen.

Sliding Door Model
  If ordering the Sliding Door Model, then the Bird Screen should be long enough to extend all of the way down to the bottom of the window. It can extend below the window pane. If you wish to keep territorial birds from attacking their reflection in your window, then the closer to the bottom of the glass pane that the Bird Screen hangs, the better. If territorial birds are not a problem on that particular window, then a Bird Screen that does not extend all of the way down would be acceptable.
