Bird smashing into window over and over HELP

I had that happen in my bedroom BUT I also have floor to ceiling mirrored wardrobe doors, which reflected the outside and the poor bird was probably old and confused. I wanted the windows open so (get this . . . ), I hung old sheets over my mirrors with . . . You guessed it . . . Good old fashioned duct tape!

Since your bird moves windows, I am not sure? Are your windows really clean and possibly give off a mirror image or something? I feel bad for the poor birdie too.

My girlfriend has an old hawk in her neighborhood and they call him Mr. Magoo, as he is always flying into things then barely landing. Luckily where she lives their county wildlife people come out asap and assess the situation. The hawk is just old. He is funny to watch as his aim is way off. At least all the bunnies are safe in her neighborhood.

Hopefully some wonderful Hometalker will have a good answer, as now I am curious too.

We are going through the same scenario. We have 2 Cardinals,one male and one female flying at the house windows. You chase them away from one and they go to another. 2 dining room, 1 kitchen, 1 small Family room,and the Patio door. My wife took small narrow ribbon that you wrap presents with curl it and tape it to the window outside so the wind can keep it moving. Seems to be working1

Apply black bird decals on your window. A friend on mine had to do that because doves kept flying into her window. It seemed to solve her problem. Best of luck.

Several reasons for birds flying into windows: they get startled and are trying to fly away; they see their own reflection and with all those spring hormones, they go after a rival; or, since birds don't seem to see glass, they are trying to fly through to the reflections of trees or maybe even your houseplants. I just Googled and found lots of sites and suggestions - maybe they will help.

It is just there own reflection,or they are protected a nest.

Robins, cardinals, and blue jays are territorial. They see their reflection and see another bird evading their territory. Hang something decorarive in the windows that will ward them off. Suncatchers, mini wreaths, stickers, etc.

I took a couple of large feathers, attached them to monofilament fishing line on one end, put 2 ball bearing swivels between the feather and loose end and taped it to the outside frame of the window or an awning and no bird strikes. The feather moves in the slightest breeze and the swivels keep the line from twisting.

Get a fake owl, they are afraid of them.

I use reusable decals in my windows to prevent the birds from banging into the glass. It works, they're inexpensive (at the local Dollar Tree), and you can change them out seasonally

Is the bird seeing light from another window and thinking it can pass through? I would put a white sheer curtain over the window and see it that deters him.

decals work use them ty
