cd's ?

Thanks for that, I am happy to use CDs for bird scaring in the garden,
but not really to my taste around windows. In the discussion I saw,
someone mentioned streamers and I think it was the response to that
idea was the one I am searching for.

Silly Moo actually scares birds away by flapping her arms up and down
whilst playing her Rudi Carol CDs, but that's another story :-)

I didn't see the thread but maybe one of those fly curtain things you hang up in
doorways would work?

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?

They leave a beautiful print of themselves on the glass, especially the
pigeons!

Has somebody been watching too much 'Tom & Jerry'?

No, that's absolutely correct. My mother, who 'inherited' pigeons in a loft
beside the garages of the house she and my father bought 50 years ago, tells
me just the same thing. In her case, the impression is left on her dining
room windows which face south east.

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 ...........

The first time we had we left the window uncleaned for ages!!

The simplest fix that no-one seems to have mentioned is not to bother
cleaning your windows for the period when juvenile fledglings are about.

Our windows don't get cleaned very often anyway.

We haven't had a bird crash for a few days now, so perhaps the dimmer
bird-brains have it worked out now!
