Dirty Bird

This Robin is psychotic. It has attacked my windows for 2 months. I have had to put sheets on my sliding glass doors, and hang cd's on all of my windows. The cd's did not work, and I got tired of sheets hanging on my doors. I bought a couple owls, and that seems to keep him away from the doors, but he still goes after the windows every day. When I am outside he sits on that wire, and yells at me non stop. He, and his misses poop everywhere. They have already had one set of babies, and she is sitting on another batch of eggs under our deck. I added that texture because that is what my windows look like. To make matters worse another couple has moved in under our gazebo. I now have 2 sets of crazy Robins yelling at me when I am gardening or just having my morning coffee. It is quite bizarre, and so is this edit. lol
I find your story insane! The little pricks!
The edit is awesome. you should use it for the album cover challenge, if you find a suitable band and title.

Wow, I only ever think of them as being sweet adorable little birds, singing lovely songs all day long. Sounds pain staking.

@monikozi Thank you. That is a great idea. I have been wanting to participate in that challenge.

@kartia I have always thought about them that way too. Every year there is a pair that nests here. Those ones never did anything crazy like these ones.

I could be wrong but birds seem to fly at the reflections in windows. I haven't seen a robin around here in a long, long time. It's the bully mockingbirds that make me crazy. Good luck with your situation.

I can imagine you get crazy by these guys. I googled and it’s not just a psycho: https://dengarden.com/.amp/misc/Why-is-robin-attacking-my-window

Great shot but my what a crazy story! You might just have to move 😉

Well spotted and well captured. Oh gee, silly robins. He must see reflections of himself in your window and thinks it's another robin.
June 10th, 2022  
Beautiful...
June 10th, 2022  
Fun capture, not so much your story...
I've heard similar about crows...
June 10th, 2022  
I like your photo and edit, not the story so much. Poor you and poor bird - it must hurt to fly against a window...

Très belle photos sur un joli oiseau 🐦 🐦

Oh my what a dilemma you have on your hands
June 10th, 2022  
Beautiful shot and beautiful colours

Sorry but this made me laugh. I have been away and returned to find poop on my kitchen window (window cleaner came one week ago).
Not sure of the culprit.
Robins are so territorial.

@monikozi "the little pricks" 🤣🤣

Fecking great story, what mad birds.. can you get a restraining order on them??
June 10th, 2022  
Oh dear what a silly bird. He is either flying at his own reflection in the window because he thinks it is a potential mate or maybe an intruder and he is trying to scare it away.
June 10th, 2022  
Of course I had to giggle since they weren''t doing it to me - but I do really feel sorry for you. That is the craziest thing I've heart. Not sure who is going to be the winner!
June 11th, 2022  
Be very scared. Great shot though.
June 11th, 2022  
What a story! They have fallen in love with you and invited their friends to come and enjoy your company too, hehe. Very nice capture here. I hope you make friends.
June 11th, 2022  
Wow sounds annoying!
June 12th, 2022  
Laughing at your narrative! We had a cardinal that did that several years ago. It does make you wonder what they are after!

@marlboromaam Thank you Mags. The blue jays, and cowbirds are the ones that usually drive me crazy.
June 12th, 2022  
@djepie Thank you for the link. I have not tried the marker. I am not sure that would even work. The cd's cover most of the window, and it still finds a spot to fight with itself.
June 12th, 2022  
@ludwigsdiana Thank you, Diana. Someone is going to have to move lol.
June 12th, 2022  
@mittens Thank you, Marilyn. I am pretty sure that there is a territory war going on. The two pairs nests are to close together.
June 12th, 2022  
@ltsybitsy Thank you. I have creepy Crow stories ha ha.
June 12th, 2022  
@ingrid01 Thank you, Ingrid. I worried about that, but it has gotten to the point where I feel like just knock yourself out dude. lol
June 12th, 2022  
@wakelys I can deal with the yelling, but the poop is a way too much! Glad that I made you laugh. :)
June 12th, 2022  
@boxplayer I wish I could get a restraining order! I can think of another proper cuss word for them "shit heads"
June 12th, 2022  
@onewing I am pretty sure that there is a territory war going on between two sets, and their nests are to close together. As soon as these two sets of babies have flown the coop I am going to remove the nests, and put something in that spot.

@milaniet Thank you, Milanie. At this point they are in the lead ha ha
June 12th, 2022  
@sangwann Ha ha! That is hilarious! Thank you, Dione.
