Birds see better in the dark.

If the birds survival is dependent on everybody all turning off their lights every year, they ain't gonna make it.

It’s called the flyover, follows Passover.

If you don’t turn off the lights you lose your firstborn son.

You don’t need to do anything. If the birds are too stupid to handle artificial light then that’s their problem. They can adapt and evolve or not, frick em

Apparently the 9/11 light memorial kills a bunch of birds every year because they get confused. Thanks Osama

Tell your wife the part of ‘must birds & bees’ for this to work.

I bet she won’t want the birds to miss their connecting flight. Who does?

So things like city street lights don't cause a problem, only private homes? Got it.

Keep your lights on. It will thin the weak ones out of the gene pool.

Those birds have been doing this for thousands of years, your lights are not gonna affect them.

I’m sure glad that ducks fly from up north to all the way down south and never have to go across lights at houses

There are many posts in my neighborhood’s Facebook group that this will show who loves animals and who doesn’t.

it just another government experiment to test how gullible and easily manipulated its citizens are.
