Same bird keeps flying into closed window ???

[inspectorlance]

Why does this crazy robin keep flying into my bedroom window ?? This has been going on for a few weeks now, mostly in the early morning. The bird just sits on a branch out side of the window and flys into it every 10 seconds. The window is closed, and has screen on the side that opens. My window is now covered in bird blood !!! The side with the screen seems to have really torn him up. Wish I had my camera here to take a pict, this window has blood speckled all over it, some blood drips and smears, and blood filling the holes in the window screen. I just got back from a 4 day biz trip and he is not here today, I think he ran out of blood.

Probably gave it one last run and then ended it all.

I had the exact same thing happen last year. sitting at my PC, kept hearing something hit my window..could not figure it out..kept looking out my window, after a few days saw a robin on the lawn, every once in a while it would take off and fly right into the glass..dangdest thing I ever saw..only thing I could figure out was it was seeing a reflection in the glass and thought it was another robin...have not seen it this year..kind of miss that bird...........

They see the reflection of the sky, from what I've heard. They're trying to fly through a "passageway." Hang things from suction cups on the outside of the window.

Maybe the bird watched one of those Windex commercials.

I dont think this one made it, due to blood loss. The window does have a perfect reflection. I just checked, and no dead bird under the window.

take the plants out of the window!

[chynewalkr]

its a male bird seeing its reflection and thinking its another male, spring is mating season and he is competing for the females.

I have barely moved into this house. dont have any plants or even a couch in the livingroom yet. but there are bushes and trees just outside the window that reflect. I'm starting to think that the bird would sleep in the tree thats just outside the window, and when he wakes up he would try and take off, but hit the window, then he would spend hours just flying into the window tryin g to get somewhere, just never looked behind himself to notice the rest of the world.

if he comes back he will get the 410 !! damm thing wakes me up at sunrise on my days off. He's going to loose alot more blood if he want to keep it up.

[johnt]

open the window and the front door, maybe he will fly thru and just keep on going........

[sosmerc]

Damn thing is just trying to get away from all that "wild pussy" around the place! You think you got trouble now, wait til the skunks find ya.

[inspectorlance]

lol, thats why the only furniture I have in the house is a bed !!!

He was just trying to tell you that the cats going to crap on your boat.

Check came flywheel kit in transit.

Lance there is a nest he is watching near by,, he sees his reflection and thinkks it is another competing robin tryin to steal the nest.. I had that same problem with one last year.. look in the trees around that window and i will garantee that there is a nest somewhere near by... all you can do is wait till the end of the season or place something non reflective in the window

Tape some newspaper on the window on the inside.....it will stop the reflection. Leave it up for a few days, the bird will not be banging into the glass.

Maybe he's after your "worm.":eek: Years ago, I was watching TV one night in the dark and outta the corner of my eye, saw something fly by overhead. The dog immediately jumped up and started going wild. Turned out it was a bat. Nasty lookin' bastid. I ened up opening windows and doors and going thru the house with a sheet to herd it out. Never did figure out how it got in the house.

At my frat house we had a couple of bats a year. They came down the chimney, probably lived in there too as they weren't used. We used to catch them with a lacrosse goalie stick. Only one guy got bit but he was carrying it around with bare hands.
