NOTE: It is a violation of the Migratory Bird Treaty Act and similar legislation in many countries to capture or harm a bird, its nest, or its eggs, even with the best intentions. The bird should never be harmed to stop it attacking its reflection. Watching a bird fruitlessly attack its reflection over and over can be distressing for a birder, and doing so is exhausting and stressful for the bird.
Knowing why birds attack windows and how to stop them can help birders provide a safe, hospitable environment for birds to enjoy. Actively scan device characteristics for identification.

The threatened bird may peck, scratch, and use intimidating postures to get this rival bird to go away. But the poor guy has met his match! Perhaps some figure it out or give up after a few hard pecks, but for others, the aggression can escalate and they are not backing down. Robins are well known for this, and some cardinals.
Bluebirds, sparrows, goldfinches and many others have been known to attack their reflections. If nothing else, make kind choices. The problem is human-made and the birds are just doing what comes naturally to them. But there are some things you can try to change the circumstances which in turn may get the bird to give up and move on. These tips can stop birds from pecking or attacking windows or mirrors and stop birds from flying into windows.
Not particularly. Bright light or shade may be what is causing the reflections—so add some shade or trim some foliage as required to remove the reflections on your windows Remove reflections Stick brightly coloured paper or newspaper to the outside of the windows to remove reflections Place a piece of shade cloth, old sheet, towel, fabric or curtain over the outside surface of the window, perhaps from the eaves or window frame.
This can be removed once the bird has lost interest. If the bird is striking more than one window, cover all that are being hit. Avoid hanging nets, as they are a common cause of injury to many animals Destroy reflections by painting windows with Bon Ami powder cleanser, white shoe cleaner or similar preparations, until the breeding season is over, which is typically from September to January each year Add shutters to the outside of the windows, or install anti-glare screens over windows Block the flight path Place something in the flight path the bird is using to attack the windows.
For instance, hang baskets or place hanging potted plants in front of windows Place a pot plant or a few potted plants inside in front of the window so it no longer looks like an open flight path Close the blinds on any windows that can be seen through the window that the bird is striking, so that it no longer looks like an open flight path Hang multiple strands of rope or other material over the windows.
Place them away from the window at least the same distance as the overall length of the bird. You can also draw a face on the balloon to make it extra confusing to the bird Avoid feeding Avoid feeding birds as this encourages them to come closer to our homes where they are at greater risk from pet attacks and traffic accidents, and can cause problems.
