In just one day, volunteers found hundreds of birds that crashed into GTA buildings | CBC News

Most did not survive. It's an easy problem to fix, according to Michael Mesure, executive director of Fatal Light Awareness Program (FLAP). But a lack of incentive means few make the changes required, he told CBC Toronto. During a bird-patrol outing in Markham on Wednesday, Mesure found 20 birds around just one building in Markham. He gingerly placed the only survivor of the bunch in a paper bag with plans to take it to a rehabilitation centre.
