Bird Safe Indy

Lights. Windows. ACTION - Announcement 🔈

Indianapolis Mayor Joe Hogsett has once again proclaimed TODAY April 15, 2026 as Light Reduction for Migratory Birds Day!

This is part of a renewed mayoral proclamation beginning in 2024 that asks property owners of Marion County to “minimize their use of lighting from dusk to dawn from April 15 to July 1 and September 1 to October 31.”

🌃Join the movement in the City of Indianapolis by turning YOUR lights out for migratory birds, wherever you are.

Migration Alert! 🚨 More than 373 MILLION birds are forecast to fly across the East Coast and eastern Midwest tonight. Help keep them safe and on track by turning off nonessential lights from 11 PM to 6 AM. Make windows safer with bird-friendly treatments to prevent collisions. More than a billion birds die in glass collisions every year. Learn more about migration, window safety, and sign up to get alerts: https://birdcast.org/migration-tools/

🚨 ACTION NEEDED: Sign & Share to Help Save Birds in Indy! 🐦

Each year, up to 1 billion birds in the U.S. die after colliding with glass. Indianapolis has a chance to take meaningful action—but we need your help.

The Indianapolis City-County Council has requested public input to gauge community support for bird-friendly building legislation. This would require bird-safe glass or treatments in new construction and major renovations of public buildings.

✅ If you live in or visit Marion County, please:
