Birds hitting window
You know that certainty you have seen something somewhere, but cannot
find it, however hard you try? That's me, right now! Quite recently, I saw a discussion of how to make windows a visual barrier to birds. The usual black stick-on silhouettes were mentioned, but someone suggested something that struck me as more attractive and possibly more effective. However, as we have rarely had such a problem, I didn't bother keeping the information. In the last week or 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? Regards, VivienB |

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. Regards, VivienB |

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 |

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 |
