Ann.without.an.e Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 It has been doing this for about three days...tapping, tapping, tapping on my windows and my car windows/rearview mirrors. Why in the world is it doing this? Any bird whisperers here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TravelingChris Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 Well it may want to get fed. When I first moved here in 2011, the birds came to my office window and acted like they expected bird feed on the window ledge. So I started doing that. The Wren gets angry if I do not put out the hanging baskets of New Guinea Impatients on my front porch soon enough cause that is where it wants to make its nest. Etc, etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aura Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 We have male cardinals that do this all. the. time. I read that it's because they're territorial, and when they see their reflection, they try to fight it. I'm not sure I completely believe that's all that's going on. These birds fly up to the sill and perch and peck and eye the person inside. I think they just want inside. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Selkie Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 Yeah, it's male birds that do this. I think they're so riled up with hormones that they get confused easily. I once saw one trying to fight a mirrored gazing globe in someone's garden. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mom2scouts Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 Years ago we got a new wooden door. We kept hearing someone knocking and when we opened the door we found a woodpecker. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then after reading it, all I can hope is that the bird in question is not a raven lol. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gardenmom5 Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 in the spring, the flickers will attack anything that can make noise. especially metal chimney pieces..... dh finally put bird spikes up on ours to discourage it. they make lots of noise to attract girls. One year - I had one crash into my living room windows repeatedly - for days. I assume it thought it was competition for girls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
