    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.

    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
