Cidu Bill on Mar 30th 2009
Maybe some birdophile can offer a suggestion here…
There’s this cardinal who for just over 11 hours on Saturday flew into the bay window in my living room. Continually. For over 11 hours. No exaggeration. Stuns himself, gets up, says “d’oooh,” and flies into the window again. Hundreds of times.
Sunday, same thing.
This morning he’s back at it.
There’s nothing inside the room that can possibly be attracting him. A couple of people suggested taping silhouettes of raptors in the windows. They might as well be targets. I stand next to the window like a human scarecrow, waving my arms. He ignores me.
Eventually, I’m going to have a dead bird in front of my house. I’d rather this not happen, despite the fact that he’s permanently scratched up an expensive window and this would clearly be Natural Selection at work — but I really have no idea how to cure this bird of his obsession with my window and send him off to get on with his life.
Any thoughts?
