Question
We have a problem every morning about am. Red cardinal is attacking the window in one room and then in another and makes so much noise that my kids can't sleep since am. Besides that the alarm system that we have goes off all the time when we are not at home because it was set up the way if someone knocks the glass the alarm goes off. WHAT TO DO? We are very tiered of not sleeping? Thank you in advance for the help.

Answer
You could try finding stickers of birds of prey to put on the windows, just like the ones that are placed on transparent highway noise barriers. Also, there are some stickers that just resemble large owl eyes, that can also do the trick. Lastly, owl decoys placed inside the windows could work too. These are probably sold in garden stores or places like Home Depot.
