We have the strangest bird outside our window. He keeps trying to get in our house!!!


This peculiar bird sits on the branch by my bathroom window and every few minutes he flies at the window, sometimes grabbing at the screen and hanging on before zooming to the branch again. He (or is it a she?) will do this for hours at at time. This bird also likes to start his pointless attempts before 6:00 in the morning!


After a week of this I was not feeling too friendly towards this obnoxious birdie.


Miss Kitty will perch on the bathroom counter waiting for the next fly by and then she jumps up at the inside of the window to catch the birdie. If the window pane didn’t stop her, that budgie would have been lunch a long time ago. But even with the cat positioned on the sill the funny bird will not be distracted from his goal.


A solution was needed, so I decided to write the bird a note and tape it to the window.BIRD Go Away! it said. It worked. The feathered foul will sit on his tree perch and look at the window but he no longer attempts to fly in.


For those of you who doubt that this worked, it is true. I don’t think that the bird can read but I do believe that the white paper taped in the window changes the appearance of the glass and he no longer sees whatever he saw that made him want to join us.


Miss Kitty misses the entertainment that the birdie provided but I am now able to sleep in past 6:00 AM.
