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.

| Decals from the inside |
The decals were created to prevent window strikes, which is when a bird flies into glass due to the reflection. I figure it should do the same thing for Mr. Robin; to make him aware!
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!)
