Then there were the pheasants strutting and eating a ton of bugs but they suddenly and mysteriously disappeared 20-25 years ago. "ASSORTED SMALL BIRDS: attack their reflections in windows and really create a mess." That's not how it was explained to me at a recent visit to the Nature Center at a State Park. Me: "Why do you have a single decal of a bird on each of your windows?" Staff: "Have you ever had a bird bounce off your living room window?" Me: "Yes, I assume it's because they can't see the glass." Staff: "Correct. Now, under normal circumstances, when a bird is simply flying from one place to another, they would rather not fly into another a bird. By placing decals of birds on the windows, the birds turn away and find another route to wherever they were going." Oh yeah, we have bouncing birds too, who unintentionally crash into the windows, often causing harm or death to themselves. I feel sorry for them. I'm talking about birds who see their reflections as an adversary, competitor, or whatever you want to call them. They attack their reflections numerous times each day, not with crashing force but with pecks. The mess they make -- spit, snot, or whatever -- is hard to clean |
