Businesses listed here have provided installation services using Feather Friendly® window collision prevention markers for private residences in the Ottawa-Gatineau area.
Inclusion in this list does not constitute an endorsement from Safe Wings Ottawa. Most sign and window film companies should be able to do the same, provided they follow established criteria for application (e.g. max 5 cm x 5 cm spacing). Property owners should do their due diligence, and are encouraged to verify with Safe Wings Ottawa that the proposed solution meets bird-safe criteria.
Regardless of what installers say, please DO NOT choose clear perforated film (full coverage or patterns), UV-reflecting products, or any visual markers spaced more than 5 cm apart or applied to the interior of the glass.
Feather Friendly can be purchased online from the Feather Friendly website, Wild Birds Unlimited, Lee Valley, and Gilligallou Bird or directly from Safe Wings Ottawa (email info@safewings.ca or call 613-216-8999).
It can also be purchased in store at Wild Birds Unlimited Ottawa (1500 Bank St), Wild Birds Unlimited Kanata (420 Hazeldean Rd), Gilligallou Bird (14 Mill St in Almonte), Lee Valley Tools (900 Morrison Dr), and Ritchie Feed & Seed (Ottawa East (1390 Windmill Lane), Richmond (5901 Ottawa St.), Stittsville (2079 Carp Rd), Brockville(3043 County rd. 29), Petawawa (1892 Petawawa Blvd)).
Installers for either large or small-scale projects are invited to contact info@safewings.ca if they wish to be added to this list.
