Prevent bird strikes and fill your home with rainbows with this set of quail window gems! These decals are easy to apply to clean windows and stay in place, creating a visual deterrence for birds who otherwise might not recognize the surface of a window.
In order to prevent bird strikes, window gems need to be applied
to the outside surface of a window or door.
Gems applied to the inside surface of a window will look beautiful and fill
your space with rainbows, but will not be effective at preventing bird strikes.
