My boss has a robin that keeps pecking at the window in his office! We think the bird is seeing it's reflection, and so tries to run off 'the intruder', not understanding that he's after himself! At an old job, we had a pair of cardinals that pestered the office window every morning in Spring, even though the employees tried to tape paper up to discourage them.
So, I purchased some WindowAlert Decals, to persuade Mr. Robin that he's got no beef with that window. I have NOT received compensation for this product; I'm merely reporting on an item that I found online, and purchased for my work.

I will report on any changes in Mr. Robin's behavior. I have two more decals to use, and I found a perverse enjoyment at rummaging around the outside of the office building, where no one else ventures except the grounds crew. Obviously, a bit of Mother Nature is all I need to make my day!
P.S. My apologies, Trout TownTabbies! We know that you dislike birds, of any kind. Please forgive us this time of being nice to birdies. (And I'll answer your email soon!)
Hi Vicki, the decals look lovely, hope they do the trick!
ReplyDeleteTake care.

When I was working at the RenCen, they asked us to make sure to keep window blinds down in the spring and fall to prevent bird strikes. ~Island Cat Mom
ReplyDeleteSuch a relevant post! I belong to a Nature org in my hometown and we just had a speaker come and talk about preventing bird strikes on windows --if your decals don't work you might want to check out other options --http://flap.org/residential_new.php--good ot know us cat people can be pro bird too!
ReplyDeleteThose are cool. I used to have a black hawk decal in the window, but it got old and yucky so I may get some of these.
ReplyDeleteYou have Bird TV at work??? Woo hoo!
ReplyDeleteThese are really cool! I need to look into them.
ReplyDeleteHopefully that works. We're on the verge of deterring our pesky Scrub Jays from the yard. I like birds, but the male is driving us nuts squawking at 6am every morning right outside our bedroom window.
ReplyDeleteSo they are sort of reflective, like aluminum foil?
