<p>You do have to feel sorry for these poor misguided birds. One year we had a male cardinal that sat on the car door and pecked at himself in the side view mirror (and of course pooped all over the door constantly).</p>
<p>Your windows must be cleaner than you thought ;).</p>
<p>This is sooo cute! You should video tape it</p>
<p>No need to raid your CD collection. I believe AOL makes free CDs they give away just for this purpose. ;)</p>
<p>Random side note - in Germany, country roads are lined with CDs tied to tree branches – headlights make them sparkle and scare the deer from running out into the roads.</p>
<p>LOL, binx! I WONDERED what those AOL CDs were for!!! He was targeting one of the “up high” windows this morning, so I propped big black pillows up against them (no blinds there). Then, all I heard was him thunking against the window, and I couldn’t watch him anymore. 
… he IS really pretty. So, the pillows are down, and no chance on hanging the AOL CDs up there without breaking my neck… I did some looking at one of the french doors in the living room he also regularly “tries” and there’s little smears from his cute little (smooshed) bird face … not to mention a couple of feathers, on the glass. Well, tonight and tomorrow’s predicted driving rain storms should keep him away, and maybe he’ll find a more reasonable place to nest in the meantime!</p>
<p>What would happen if you hung a rubber snake inside? (Start a decorating trend?)</p>
<p>“if starlings can get in, they’ll eat the babies.”</p>
<p>Once a snake got into one of the bluebird houses in our yard and started eating the eggs. My dad was working outside and noticed that a bunch of birds (all different species) were going nuts and twittering like crazy outside the house, so he opened it up and found the culprit. He killed it but I think it had eaten most of the eggs by that point. :(</p>
