Description
I’ll explain why a cardinal keeps attacking your window, why the usual paper and scare devices often fail, and how I stop the behavior for good. I’ll also show you how to tell these reflection fights from dangerous window strikes—and what I do when I find a stunned bird.
I cover:
- Why cardinals return every morning
- How reflections trigger territorial behavior
- When window strikes can turn deadly
- How feeder placement affects the problem
- What to do for a stunned bird
- Why covering the entire window works better
- How to create a safety grid before tomorrow’s first thump
