Default The red bird is beating our window

We put the curtains, she still comes back. What's wrong with her ? She starts at 8 in the morning, and makes so much noise, it drives my husband crazy.

Hi Julia
He see his reflection as a rival You need to something to break up the reflective surface of the window with strips of paper or something so there is little or no complete reflection

The curtain on the inside didn't help. We put it on the outside, so she doesn't come back. I can't see the preety view of our backyard now.

Clingfim on the outside of the window will often do the trick Julia, and maintain the view to a degree.

You can normally remove any covering after the nesting season.

It's a shame but he would eventually kill him self as he thinks hi reflection is after hist territory and mate. give it a few days and take it down see if he comes back. he may not
