Question
I have a blue bird that is attacking my windows in my sunroom. My daughters gave me a beautiful bird house so I could watch the birds from our new sunroom. I have hung pictures in every window (I have 9 windows in this room), but that doesn't seem to help. The only way he will fly away is if I get up from a chair and walk to the window. The bird will just sit there at a window and look around. He also fly's from window to window. I have screens on each window and I guess that is a problem too, but I do not want to remove the screens because we like to put the windows up on nice cool days. Will hanging a fake snake on the window help, as someone suggested to me? This has been going on for about a month now. Will the bird stop doing this on his own eventually?
Not unusual. I have had a Cardinal at my office window for
a week. Some choices: cover window with cloth or paper, hang garden netting, soap windows, hang cloth strips or ribbons, hang strips of mylar, or ignore it. It will stop after the nesting season. If you will send your mailing address to walshaw1@cox.net I will send you a free 20 page
