Pigeons and windows

Windows have been around for ages, why hasn't the urge to fly into them been bred out of the gene pool yet?

Some estimates (seen in my five seconds of google) place the annual number of bird deaths in the USA due to glass collisions at over 1 billion. So, globably speaking, what? 10 billion-ish birds die from glass collision? More? The global population of birds according to one paper I found is 200-400 birds. Rough,rough guesstimate, but that sounds absurdly high, especially considering most of those birds wouldn't be anywhere near glass. Even in just a few generations, a death rate that high would surely start to affect the populations somehow.

I think you may want to revise those figures.
