Expert: Bluebird Bob Walshaw - 3/22/2009

Question
I have had a problem with a bluebird, for 4 mornings in a row it is very aggresive. It tries to bust into my bedroom window, beating itself on the window .
 When I scare it away , it goes to the back of my home & tries to get in through the back window. It is determined to get in my house. I tried to research it on the net, but everyone just said that the windows may be too clean or that it may be seeing a reflection of itself.
  But this bird seems to know what it wants & what its doing . It kind of scares me because of the old wives tale about birds being in your house is a sign of death .  
  Actually right at this very moment, it is trying to get in &  I have scared it away at least 10 times, in both the front & back windows.
 It has never went to any of the other windows in my home. Its one of the bluebirds that have mostly blue on it . I hope you guys know something about this crap !!! This also happens at the same exact time every morning !! It knows what its doing !! It is determined to get into my house !!! It won't stop !!!
Thank you ,
Rozee


Answer
It is just fighting its reflection because it is mating season. Cardinals and other birds do it too. Best solution (other than ignoring it as it will stop soon) is to cover the window somehow or soap it, etc. or to hang strips of Mylar (plastic sheeting)over the window.
