Any ideas on how to stop this male robin . . . .
We had a large tree removed from the front of our home. As a result, this male robin can see his reflection in my windows and he bangs against the glass attempting to scare this intruder (himself) away. He'll go from the rail to the window, back to the rail and hit the window again. He has left deposits on the glass, the sill, the brick, floor and bannisters. What a mess!!
During mating season, I had strings tied to aluminum foil hanging on my windows and it helped some and also looked tacky. And the attacks continue.
I recently hung a short valance along the perimeter of the porch, and I have placed a wreath on his favorite window in an attempt to break up his view. But, he is still hits the windows.
Any ideas???? Thanks.
