Feather Friendly

Feather Friendly Logo

Feather Friendly® is Canadian company that produces innovative, high-quality window film technology for the prevention of bird collisions, which kill upwards of 1 billion birds in North America each year. In addition to its window film technology, Feather Friendly® is committed to providing further education to citizens, experts, and bird enthusiasts in the form of helpful resources such as case studies, guidelines, blogs, retail programs, and sponsorship. Over the past 15 years, Feather Friendly® has received international recognition by providing institutions across the world with custom retrofit solutions. Some notable installations include the Canadian Museum of Nature, York University, the South Korea Highway, and Audubon in Arizona. As a world leader in bird collision prevention, Feather Friendly® is affiliated with many organizations that advocate for bird and wildlife safety, such as FLAP Canada, American Bird Conservancy (ABC), Audubon, the Association of Zoos and Aquariums and Saving Animals from Extinction (SAFE).

Website Challenges

Feather Friendly® needed a unique platform that would distinguish its parent company Convenience Group Inc (CGI). The Feather Friendly® team wanted to create a space that would enable them to not only raise awareness about bird building collisions, but also provide citizens with a proven solution against collisions. Feather Friendly® enlisted Symetric to help develop a functional website that would serve as both an educational and e-commerce platform for users.

Collision Crisis

Symetric’s first goal was to communicate the overall crisis of bird collisions worldwide. Using specific statistics and custom graphics, we demonstrated how rapid urban expansion, growing cities, and climate change have affected bird habitats and migration patterns, which has led to an alarming population decline for birds. Although the numerical figures are shocking, the crisis page also gestures toward various partners, organizations, and of course products that will not only educate citizens, but also to inspire change.

What They Said


“We came to Symetric because we wanted to make bird collision prevention approachable and educational. Although we had a great product, we realized that, in order to be truly successful, we would need a user-friendly space that would make it easy for customers and community members to learn more about us. Our website redesign has allowed us to articulate our mission, share resources, and prevent collisions in a fun, accessible manner. In addition to a fresh, bright colour scheme, logo, and layout, Symetric created innovative strategies to help us effectively market our products and engage with our audience. Everyone was so easy to work with and I am so impressed by the exceptional creativity, communication, and initiative shown by the team. Symetric has been integral to transforming my ideas into digital and print formats.  Our entire team is so thrilled to see how much Feather Friendly® has grown since our redesign. We look forward to working with Symetric as we continue to raise awareness about bird collisions. Thank you for helping us spread the word!”
