A Robin has been ramming himself into our dining room window for the past 24 hours. My wife's answer to this, or to any other annoying cirumstance is to go "booga-booga," which is her unsophisticated way of trying to chase things away.
With the unrelenting attacks, I turned to the Internet and learned that our bird is simply seeing its own reflection and because it doesn't understand the concept of mirrors so it believes another bird has invaded its territory and is trying to drive it away.
What it is doing is driving us nuts. So we're going to put up a sheet to block the outside of the window to discourage the behavior. That's because the "booga-booga" approach did not work. It was pretty funny to watch, however.

They make bird window clings that will stop that. I believe jj cardinal in gb has this (among others).
Thanks for the tip.
You sure that's not a Newhouse exec? Sure seems like a perfect metaphor.
Oh my God!
Why not help her scare the birdie away? Buy a B.B.-gun and take that birdie out. Problem solved.
We solved the problem by taping an old bed sheet over the window. No reflection, no more dive bombing bird.
Joan would not let me kill one of God's creatures, even if it is one that is demanding to be on the endangered species list.
