Territorial birds
First it was cute. Birds pecking at my kitchen window seeing their reflection. Now, it's getting to be a pain.
My windows have a reflective coating to cut down on heat and add privacy. Any suggestions on how to keep the birds away?

We had a bird that did that. If it is only one bird maybe you can catch it and let it go about 20 miles from your place. Birds that do that usually
have a screw loose. I believe our neighbor kid shot the one at our house with a bb gun but he never completely admitted it.
It will drive you crazy after a while. good luck!

Sure fire cure...............Place a red light over the window, on the outside, paste a puddy cat on the window de burdie will go away to find a
quieter location...........You may have a few guys pounding on your door with cash in hand but this could be only a minor annoyance.
I'll probably be by this next Wednesday.

Interesting... had the same thing happen just before we left TS. Little female finch just would not give it up!!! I can't imagine having several of
them. Our windows do not have a reflexive coating either!!
Remember, when in Mexico, yes may be no and no may be
maybe!

How does the window hold up to the bird-shot. CaboRon
