Bird brain
Everyday for the past 2 weeks a robin has stood on top of the window ledge in the family room and 'knocked' on the window with its beak. It usually does it in the morning off and on for an hour or so. We tried scaring it off by standing in the window, waving and yelling. It just comes back when we leave the window.
I don't know if its the same bird thats been flying into the dining room window every afternoon. It hits the window, flutters to the ground, flys away for a few minutes, and then flys into the window again. It does this usually 6 to 8 times.
If I'd just seen Hitchcock's movie 'The Birds' I'd be freaking out. I remember seeing that in high school and having to walk way around the neighbors yard because they had bird feeders and lots of birds!
What movie scared you when you were younger?

We have a mother duck that just this morning decided she'd do her nesting by a bush just in front of our house. Don't want to scare her but when I can, I'll try to get some pictures. How about that, we'll beccome foster parents to some cute little ducklings.

Teddy Bear, the poor robin's just having a conversation with itself. We have birds over here which are renowned for attacking reflections in car mirrors, windows and doors.

For me, a bird that kills itself by hitting the window of a house means that there will be a death in the family (but not necessarily immediate family). So if I was living at your place Teddy Bear, I'd be having a breakdown!

Hmmmmm, teddy...I'm still trying to envision a demonic flock of ROBINS. LOL
My suggestion to eradicate your problem is to scrub off the painting of the worm on your window.

Used to have sparrows fly into the patio glass doors,put a couple of strips of tape across the glass. So they could see the door it stopped them. might try that.
Our problem now is we have a Mocking bird that has learned to mimic our phone!We will be outside hear the phone and run to get it and it will be that @#*&^% bird!

Get a cell phone and change the ringer to something funny. That way if the bird flies off it'll annoy someone else with a rather call.

Better than the mocking birds around here, who mimic car alarms.

Maybe you should record a CD and play it for your bird over and over again until it learns to say, "jay-t, you're one sexy dude!" Worth a try.
