Billions of birds die each year from collisions with tall glass buildings, communication towers and power lines – a gobsmacking toll that's expected to increase as cities grow outwards and upwards.
A recent study suggests there could be a way to fix our deadly mistakes – by installing 'acoustic lighthouses' that blast white noise in short bursts, stopping migratory birds on a collision course with towering metal structures, tall buildings, and possibly even wind turbines.
We Could Harness White Noise to Save The Lives of Millions of Birds. Here's How
