Birds keep flying into my window is there anyway to stop them?

Aug 10, 2006 by Fallon V | Posted in Other - Home & Garden

Birds try and fly into our house all of the time they keep scratching at the window and flying into them it is really weird and creepy. I didn't know if there was something to make them stop.

Some birds are territorial and are attacking what they think is a rival bird but is actually their own reflection in the window. Some birds will knock themselves out trying to run off this rival who also won't give up. I taped a scary face picture inside

Dresden raptors wow crowd during program in Farmington

18.05.12

FARMINGTON — The presentation featured a live saw-whet owl, a raven, a red-tailed hawk and a golden eagle with an amputated wing.

The presenter, Hope Douglas of Dresden, is the founder and president of the Wind Over Wings program, a nonprofit educational service featuring live birds of prey.

Prior to her talk at the Town Office on Saturday, Douglas spread and taped a large black mat onto the floor.

“It's hard to house-break an owl,” she said. That also could be said of the other three birds.

Douglas, a wildlife rehabilitator who has taught wildlife conservation internationally, introduced the standing-room-only crowd to a young saw-whet named Pippin .

“This is the Chihuahua of the owl family,” she said.

Pippin promptly fluffed her feathers and flexed her 18 inches of wings, which Douglas said was the raptor's defense mechanism on viewing the audience as large predators.

“When you're this little and not used to people, the defense is to make yourself as big as possible, as mighty as possible,” she said.
