Wild Cardinal slamming into window repeatedly??

Question

We live in upstate NY. There is this wild cardinal who every single day, slams into one of our regular windows (not a sliding glass door, just a regular window). He/She flies into the lilac bush right outside the window and we see him flutter around a bit, then start slamming into it over and over. We thought he might see his reflection, but hes hitting the screen on the outside of the lower window, and he does this ONLY to this one window (not the one next to it, or any other windows). We do have a lovebird&parakeet in a cage together inside this room but they dont make much noise and i dont even think he can see them from where he hits (the other window has a much better view of our birds from the outside of our house). He comes and goes all day. Just now i heard him singing loudly and slamming into it, then took off. ANY CLUE WHATTT is going on here????

Answer 1

The bird sees his reflection in the window and is driving off a rival male bird.

Answer 2

I have a little Junco that sits on a chair, craps all over it & flies at my front window.

I think it smokes weed.

We don't even own the bird, it's wild.

Answer 3

put some stickers on the window so that he sees it

Answer 4

wooglet is right

Answer 5

wow, the sad thing is that i know the solution to this. The bird  doesnt realize that there is glass there and will continue to slam into until it gets hurt or u scare it away, simply chill outside and scare him away, or maybe he reallly can tell there are birds in the house and he/she wants to interact with them?

Answer 6

Sure.  This is a simple one.  That bird is effing crazy.

Answer 7

Get a scary pic of a cat and put in the widow this will scare the bird,just like farmers use scare crows.
