Relative Something

The bird is nothing, if not persistent. His relentless pursuit of his own reflection in our windows is downright comical, and even a little annoying. We try not to be bugged by so much attention from a member of the wildlife that surrounds us here, but the repeated sound of him bonking into windows around our house triggers a signal in our minds that something is amiss. It creates a feeling that some sort of action is called for. We feel as if we should do something to help him get over his obsession.

The message that we received about him from the sellers, described the fact that nothing they had tried, proved to suppress his repeated acts of banging the glass. That has tended to diminish our level of effort toward devising drastic action to deter him.

Cyndie tried a couple different minor things, but they didn’t seem to make a difference. I have caught him smacking into at least 3 different windows, on opposite sides of the house. If she blocks his view in one window, he will just move on to the next one.

Her next plan is to see if she can simply talk some sense into him, and also give him an opportunity to send a message to her. I look forward to hearing how that plays out. After all that head banging, I wonder if he could have anything coherent to convey.
