I wanna buy UV spray to stop birds hitting window

Hi,

We have a big problem since we moved house, that birds very often hit our windows, it's heartbreaking :-(

Having done an awful lot of research and reading, I know that a lot of the popular options (such as decals) are not very effective, as unless you put things on the window with no more than 1.5 to 2cm gap maximum between each one, it doesn't really work.

However, have read a lot of very positive things about UV paint/spray, as birds can see this and it stops them flying into the glass - plus it's invisible to humans.

I've scoured the internet and can't find anywhere in the UK that does such a thing. I found a US product - link below - but when I tried to buy it they cancelled the order and said they don't ship to the UK. But this is an example of the type of product I am after.

So my plea is, does anyone know where I could buy a UV spray or paint that I could use? Happy to buy from abroad and pay shipping.

To be clear, this a product that UV in it, rather than products that are 'anti UV glare' etc.  I can easily find the latter, but this is not what I need.

Really grateful for any suggestions on where I could buy this from, thank you.

We had a problem with birds flying into our patio door glass. I assumed it was because they saw the garden reflected in the glass. I placed a thin tape (the kind used for pinstripping cars) horizontally at about 5ft high. That was 2 years ago and we've had no more birds flying into the glass since......so seems to work.

Is this a window upstairs in a room used to work from home?

This might seem counter-intuitive, but have you considered attaching a cheap bird feeder to the window, such as this one: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Clear-Perspex-Window-Bird-Feeder/dp/B00T7YUOSI/ref=asc_df_B00T7YUOSI/?tag=googshopuk-21&linkCode=df0&hvadid=235139895745&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=3976799717708094571&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=1006548&hvtargid=pla-388676002788&th=1

We did that and (provided it's filled with seeds or similar) it seems to provide a focal point for the birds - not one has crashed into the window.
