Federal Bird Safe Buildings Act of 2025
This bill requires federal agencies to incorporate bird-safe features in public buildings during construction, acquisition, or major facade renovations (over 50% alteration). It mandates the General Services Administration (GSA) to develop and regularly update a design guide with practical strategies - like specific glass treatments, lighting modifications, and maintenance practices - to reduce bird collisions. The guide must be shared with all federal agencies and included in annual compliance reports to Congress, which also require annual assessments of bird fatalities at federal buildings. Exemptions apply to historic sites like the White House, Supreme Court, and Capitol complex.
