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.
@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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
@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.
@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.

I've heard similar about crows...
