| PLEASE help with a stupid bird There is a robin outside my back window trying to get IN The window- however- the blinds are down so it's not like it can see inside. Anyways- i went into the backyard and scared it away and it went. But now it's back and the noise of it hitting the window has Layla hiding and shaking like a fool. Any suggestions on how to get RID of this bird? |

| Hmmm good question. Have you tried putting a bird feeder in your yard. Maybe that would distract the bird from coming to the window.

| Do you have a pinwheel? or maybe even cut some aluminum foil strips and tie them together like one....something that makes noise..and put it outside the window. The movement should distract the bird. Worth a shot

| My sister had a robin a couple years ago that did that all summer long and into the fall. It drove her crazy and her window looked like crap! I'm going to remember the tin foil solution in case it happens again!

| well thankfully it is gone now but Layla was getting too upset to just leave the situation alone- I knew the bird was confused so no point in letting it continually hit the window. Hopefullly it has moved on now |

| Robins don't eat from bird feeder, they like worms and berries. If it comes back maybe you could throw some berries Far away from the window.
