That's interesting. We've had males that spent hours fighting with
their reflections in the window, or the mirror on the car, but I've not
seen females exhibit that behavior.

I know females of some species are protective of nesting areas (falcons,
for example); I wonder if that applies to female cardinals? She could
be defending her place from her reflection.

Hi the

A friend (who doesn't use newsgroups) was telling me that she has trouble
with female cardinals continuously flying into her house windows. One
particular bird even goes so far as to walk around the house and try to
methodically get into all her windows. She is doubtful that window decals
will work.

At least one male bird is always around.

Any thoughts?

Thanks
