Not a lot of birds in Mensa, it would seem. I am told that cardinals do the same thing with car mirrors.<br /><br />I am sorry that your daughter was upset about the bird!

He had a Facebook page and fans.<br /><br />It took a while to figure out, but the damn thing was eating the fermented holly berries off the bush in front of the window, getting drunk, and spending an hour or two bashing his head.

I had to drive over a bird (couldn't avoid it otherwise I would have crashed) and one of my then young children asked me what the bump was. I had to sort of pretend that it wasn't a bird otherwise there would have been a meltdown of sorts on the backseat. We were at a stage where my children used to get hysterical about any sort of bird dying or being eaten by the cat.Welcome!https://www.blogger.com/profile/07758516334730930643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5822428166683371800.post-67795292934005793182011-05-25T20:41:23.907-05:002011-05-25T20:41:23.907-05:00I am ashamed to say this, but we live near a pond ...I am ashamed to say this, but we live near a pond and my 19 year old daughter actually aims for ducks crossing the road.

I tried to make it funny that this bird had just flown right into us...it sorta worked, but not completely.<br /><br />But here, we've had this bird peck on our window every day for months. We finally realized it was pecking at its shadow, thinking it competition for mating season. It finally stopped a week or two ago. Or it died. :-PDarcyhttp://asdmommy.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5822428166683371800.post-77713933469731532842011-05-25T19:15:34.601-05:002011-05-25T19:15:34.601-05:00I think you did that bird a favor.

I love this kid. <br /><br />Of course, I would have probably reacted like Lizzy but if I was the actual bird murderer in this whole scenario (not that I'm saying you murdered the bird - ahem - of course not!) then I would tend to have this delight with Alex's indifference to it all.

We taped some pieces of packing tape on the window to signal "this is a window, stupid," but to no avail.<br /><br />I Googled "male cardinal smashing into window" and found out that when the male sees his reflection, he thinks it's another male, so he tries to fight with it and make it fly away. Of course, all that happens is that he annoys the hell out of himself and everyone else. <br /><br />I've seen cardinals do the same thing with my driver's side mirror. It's a wonder the species survives. <br /><br />Sorry about the kamikaze robin.

It would be comical if it weren't so annoying. Birders tell me that its mating season, and that the bird is attracted to its own reflection, in a Narcissus sort of way. I thought it was just the one species initially, but after we've had an assortment of birds, each spring, pull the same stunt, I've come to realize that they're all equally dense, or at least equally stuck up.<br /><br />Can't help you on the bird bashing. Hasn't happened to me yet. <br /><br />Good luck on both.Teresahttp://everydaydemilo.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5822428166683371800.post-26909597697564422672011-05-25T14:43:15.508-05:002011-05-25T14:43:15.508-05:00Flannery took the words right out of my mouth.
