Millions of birds each year collide with brightly lit homes and businesses while traveling the night skies through Texas. You can help! Last updated on January 11, 2024.

Certify Your Home or Building Here Mrs. Laura Bush to Texans: Turn out lights at night to help Texas birds, during spring and fall migration seasons from 11 PM to 6 AM. Read Mrs. Bush's Op-Ed in the Dallas Morning News. "With a flick of a switch, you can be part of a nationwide effort to dramatically reduce the hundreds of millions of birds killed by collisions with brightly lit buildings. Not only can you save birds - our most beautiful and accessible wildlife - you can reduce your energy costs. It's a no-brainer!" Garrett Boone, Co-Founder The Container Store The Problem Many birds migrate at night. Every spring and fall, they soar across Texas in flocks by the hundreds of millions. Our night sky becomes a super highway of birds! Unfortunately, birds are attracted to light, so brightly-lit homes and buildings can confuse and disorient them. They often collide with windows and walls. It's hard to believe, but we lose up to one billion birds to collisions in the US every year. If by chance they survive, hazards in the city abound, like busy streets, food scarcity, and feral cats. To keep Texas birds flying high, it’s as easy as flipping a switch – go Lights Out for Wildlife during peak spring and fall migration from 11 PM to 6 AM (Sep, Oct, & Nov / Mar, Apr, & May).
