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 0:00 The mystery of window thumps 0:53 Defending territory from itself 2:37 Why it returns every morning 4:02 Scare devices quickly stop working 4:46 When window strikes turn deadly 6:01 Rethinking feeder distance rules 6:51 Helping a stunned bird 8:24 Cover the whole window 9:05 Draw tomorrow’s safety grid #Cardinals #BirdWatching #BirdSafety #WindowStrikes #BackyardBirds
