Aarikka mobiles helping save birds across Britain
- According to the British Trust for Ornithology up to 100 million British birds crash into windows each year. Sadly around a third of these will die and it's the sort of scene that brings a tear to the eye of any bird lover.
- The reflections of sky or trees in house and conservatory windows can make it difficult our feathered friends to see the glass, particularly if it is double glazed. Mirrors and other visible windows can also fool the bird into thinking there is a way through.
- To prevent birds from flying into windows, you need to make it obvious that the glass is there. By hanging something up in front or just behind the window, you can show the bird that there glass blocking their flight path.
Arctic Fashion stocks three elegant mobiles - one heart-themed mobile and two bird-themed mobiles for bird lovers). When sunlight catches the aluminium frames, the reflections will draw attention to the glass and help stop bird-window collisions.
Not only do the Serenadi (Serenade), Kiurut (Skylark) and Laulumailla (Song World) mobiles serve a practical purpose, they are also beautifully designed and hand made in Finland.
