Bird-Friendly Development Rating System and Acknowledgement Program
The Bird-Friendly Development Guidelines illustrate how to make new and existing buildings less dangerous to migratory birds. The Development Rating System is a checklist for developers, building owners and managers to assess whether their new or existing buildings are bird-friendly according to the Guidelines. The checklist can be filled-in on-line or downloaded as a PDF form. 
The Acknowledgement Program is designed to award building owners and developers who commit to the guidelines, original art prints to be displayed in their lobby as a token of appreciation.
