wait, so if windows are so high. What about like, the rest of the building?

I think windows are that high because birds think they can go through them, they probably don't think they can go through buildings, but who knows?

i would assume so, but most sky scrapers are entirely glass, and those technically aren't windows from the outside. So do those count?

Though i guess they also have air patterns surrounding them that would make it difficult to bonk into.

Not sure if you're making a joke, but windows kill birds because they're transparent and birds fly into them not realizing it's there. The rest of the building doesn't really kill birds because they won't fly into it.

mostly musing on the clarification of what a window is, because not all windows are transparent, in fact, the majority of them, i would venture to argue, are not.

Skyscrapers are weird.
