A protective aposematic mimicry device is provided. The device mimics natural aposematic signals found in nature to deter a predator from attacking a small animal or pet. The device includes a harness, a winged shape cutout for attaching to the harness and model eyes attached to the winged shaped cutout. In an alternate embodiment the harness includes model eyes functioning as buttons for attaching the winged shaped cutout to the harness.

Bird collisions with windows or other glazings are minimized or prevented with a glazing comprising as least one substrate with a UV reflectance coating deposited over the substrate in a patterned arrangement comprised of a plurality of stripes, and each of the plurality of stripes has a thickness that changes by 10 nm or less over every 1 mm in width. Such an arrangement of stripes having soft edges are less apparent, and thus more aesthetically pleasing, when compared with a similar arrangement of stripes formed with hard edges, while providing an effective deterrent to bird collisions. The glazing may also be utilized as part of a laminated glazing or insulated glazing unit. A method of manufacturing the glazing is also provided.

A protective garment for an animal is disclosed. The garment includes a body having a central portion, a first body flap extending from the central portion, and a second body flap extending from the central portion. The first body flap and the second body flap are extendable around a body of the animal and fasten to each other. The garment further includes a first collar flap extending from central portion and a second collar flap extending from the central portion. The first collar flap and the second collar flap are extendable around a neck of the animal and fasten to each other. Further, the central portion includes an outer surface that includes an array having a plurality of iridescent cells separated by a grid.

An avian collision avoidance system utilizing a lighting system and a power source. The lighting system is able to focus on a power line, or power lines, or other structure such as a wind turbine or cell tower, to provide illumination visible to avian populations. The power source may generate power by any means necessary, may store power and may supply power to the lighting system. The lighting system will provide a light source in a desired wavelength to accommodate both humans and birds as necessary.
