I keep seeing people put stickers way too far apart on their glass
I was reading a thread here last week and realized a lot of folks think a few decals in the corners is enough. It's not. I learned from a local bird rescue group in Austin that the marks need to be no more than 2 inches apart, either horizontally or vertically. Birds try to fly through any gap bigger than a fist. I had my own stickers spaced about 6 inches apart for a year and still heard that awful thump a couple times a month. After I redid them with the 2-inch rule, I haven't had a single strike in three months. It feels so obvious now, but I guess the spacing isn't really talked about enough. Has anyone else had to completely redo their window markers after learning this?

Totally spaced mine wrong for ages too. Had to scrape off the old ones and start over, but it actually works now. The two-inch rule is the real deal.
