Why is this Cardinal keep trying to fly into my patio glass door?

Question

it's been nearly 2 weeks now. Comes everyday and keep repeating.

Answer 1

He's gotta go to the bathroom.....let him in!!!!

Answer 2

We have the same problem and I think it is because the glass reflection makes them think they can continue right on through.  I also have a little birdie that sits on the bottlebrush outside my guest bedroom pecking at the window and I think he is hot for the birdie he thinks he sees not realizing it is himself!  I found using the vinyl peel offs I get from some charities I support stuck to the window deters them from flying into the window (the death rate is down, too).

Answer 3

you have windex?? lol

Answer 4

You use Windex and it doesn't see the glass

Answer 5

during breeding season, or while protecting a nest, they often see their reflection, and try to defend their territory

Answer 6

Its a bird... its CLEAR, they don't know what GLASS is... they just... fly... and don't expect it. And for the repeating thing. Maybe every time he fly into the window he forgets that theres glass there..... like he gets amnieasa from the blow

Answer 9

Answer 10

Male cardinals are territorial and defend their territory very agressively only from other males of the species. This even includes the reflection of it's self in a wall or mirror as a mistake. The cardinal will racously swoop at the glass and try to missle it and peck it.

If you want our handsome male  to stop make the glass unreflective by putting on a opaque glass ahesive film you get in home improvement stores. He will go away.

Answer 11

Put up a hawk decal in the window.  Most animals don't "get" glass.
