Federal Bird Safe Buildings Act of 2025

# Federal Bird Safe Buildings Act of 2025 (HR 3268) - Summary **What the Bill Does:** This bill would require federal buildings to adopt design standards and practices that reduce bird collisions with structures. Millions of birds die annually from flying into buildings, and this legislation aims to minimize those deaths by mandating safety measures on government-owned or operated facilities. **Who It Affects:** The bill directly impacts federal agencies that manage or own buildings, which would need to implement bird-safe features.

Indirectly, it affects bird conservation efforts and could serve as a model for private buildings and state/local governments to follow similar practices. **Key Provisions:** While specific details aren't provided in the available information, typical bird-safe building measures include installing bird-friendly glass treatments (patterns or decals that make glass visible to birds), reducing reflective surfaces, improving lighting systems, and designing landscaping to discourage collisions. **Current Status:** The bill was introduced in the 119th Congress by Representative H. Morgan Griffith (R-VA) and is currently in committee, meaning it hasn't yet been debated or voted on by the full House of Representatives.
