BIRD BRAIN
We have mirrored film on our windows to reflect IR radiation. It works quite well, but there is one somewhat negative side effect. For the last 24 hours, we’ve had a male cardinal bashing itself into the windows as it attacks the other male in the mirror. It drives the dog and the cats crazy, and it’s probably not so good for the bird. I even opened the windows enough for the cats to sit on the ledge outside the window. The bird just moved his attacks up about a foot to stay out of harm’s way.
Suggestions?

I had this problem a while back. I put some netting over the exterior of the problem window so that the bird couldn’t get to it. |

It’s attacked every window on the ground floor. |

Our cardinal was only obsessed with one window. Maybe hang some streamers or something outside of each window to scare him away? |

I know parking terraces hang plastic owls around to keep pigeons from nesting there. Not sure if cardinals are afraid of owls though. |

I’m not going to pull down the film to save a dumb bird. 🙂 |
