Subject: Blue Birds Pecking
To the person with the pecking blue bird problem – I feel your pain. we had the same problem for two consecutive years! he would come in the spring, leave during the heat of the summer and return in the fall. Is was a beautiful bird to see up close, but very annoying to hear the pecking all day (only sunny days) and he left quite a mess.
We tried everything – including having our dog bark at him through the window – it didn’t work. He is actually seeing himself in the window reflection and thinks it is a competitor. The only thing that worked partially is to go to a bird store or order on line clear transparencies and apply them to the window. I still have them in my window this year and I believe he must have died because he has not come back. All the bird experts tell me they will come back every year to the same place.
Good Luck
Lisa
