No, pigeons seem to be very dusty birds and do indeed leave a perfect 'print' of their outline and feathers on the glass. It's rather pretty ........... Jenny |

two we have had a spate of birds crashing into a window where it is possible to see a narrow band of another window on the other side of the house. Of course, now I cannot find what seemed such a good idea when I read it, having googled this newsgroup and others and also looked in other places I thought possible. Can anyone help? I recently had a problem with a crow tapping on my bedroom window, it was decided that it was probably a territory thing, reflection etc. Much as I hate net curtains I put some very fine nets up and the tapping has stopped. kate |
