PLEASE help with a stupid bird

Colored tape (like electrical or masking tape) on the outside of the window would probably help. It takes away the reflection and works well when they fly into windows as well.

I think they are too fast for a cat. A couple weeks ago our neighborhood was covered in Robins on the ground, we do have cats but they out flew them. They eat so much in FL when they get up North they are fat.

lol- ok then a few of them are slow every year we have dead bird carcass in our back yard- we kindly shovel it to our neighbours back yard- to whom the cat belongs- Layla thinks i am being unfair by not letting her investigate it first- i try and tell her it could make her very sick- she wont' hear of it

I'll bet you are right, good thinking! I was thinking there were possibly some kind of bug near the window, but your suggestion sounds more plausible.

I was at a restaurant one time and watched a robin dooing the same thing. She was hitting the window low enough so I went outside to see what she was seeing. The sun was shining so brightly that all I could see was the reflection of the tree near the window with a nest in it. I think she was trying to get to her nest. Poor thing was still trying when we left.

Funny story about birds. Last spring our neighbor guy came to our door. He never came over, so I was worried there was something wrong. I seen my husband step outside with him and he was showing him pictures on his phone, and he was very serious. Turned out he thought someone was messing with them. He said that there was blood on their car mirrors and when they would wash them, there would be more blood on them the next day. He then looked at our cars, and sure enough, there was blood and little scratches on the mirrors! Well he was really freaking out because this had apparently gone on all week and he was creeped out that someone would do this! So he called the police to come out and take a report from all of us. The cop took one look and treated us like we were stupid. He just said "It's from a bird" and left. Sure enough, the next day we noticed that birds were hanging out on our mirrors eating bugs and worms everyday, because it was still very cold out and our black mirrors were nice and warm in the sun. Its amazing the mess they leave behind though!
I do love bird watching, I just don't love them leaving nasty stuff on my car!
