So I'm having a problem with birds this year. (No, its not the birds shitting on my car, that was last year)

The problem I'm having this year is a couple of birds hitting my window. Now I have done some investigation, and these are not injured birds. I think these are just dumb-ass birds who see their reflection in the window and start charging at the window. I keep getting this thumping sound every few minutes on the back door window, and its the birds slamming against my window.

What is causing this?? Again, these are not injured birds, these are perfectally healthy birds. Any thought?

This NPR article will shed some light on this problem and may help you save some birds.

Good article, but not the problem. This is the same one or 2 birds that continue to do this non-stop all day!

Im thinking it might be mating season and they are hitting the window because they think their reflection is another bird. Could this be the case? Its the same bird that continues to do this!

For years at my old house, my house was the victim of woodpeckers showing the ladies how hard their penis was. They do this by banging their beak against the side of the house. It's their mating ritual, when the thump their chests. It got to the point that they put a hole through the siding by the garage and actually got stuck in the garage. I woke up one morning hearing a bunch of banging going on in the garage and I opened up the kitchen door to the garage fully expecting to fight a man, in my boxers, and it was the damn woodpecker trying to get out by flying into the window in the garage, repeatedly. I opened up the garage door and he got out, but he shit on my car and on my clean clothes sitting on top of the dryer.

After doing some checking, I ended up buying some silver mylar balloons, filling them with helium, and then taping them to the side of the house. The balloon worked 100%.

Maybe its a territorial thing, a male bird is doing this, or its going after another male encroaching on its territory.

Or it could be a female protecting its nest. They go on instictive autopilot and fly into the windows over and over again.
