For the last two days a Blackbird has been on the window sill, spending all the daylight hours pecking the glass....
Its not a trapped fledgeling, its well able to fly about but each time it disturb it, it flys off then returns to bash its head against the glass again. This has been going on for hours.
I put food out in a nearby tree, no change....
Whats going on and how to stop it beating its own head to a pulp (without involving cats or other weapons..)
Stick a picture of a cat on the inside of the window.
It's trying to pick a fight with it's reflection.
We have three cats and one of them is using this as the equivalet of Cat Tv..
Spring is sprung, garden birds are getting randy and territorial, it thinks its reflection is the competition

I've seen threads on here like that.
You have to try and distract it.
Confused woodpecker. In disguise.
Just tape a piece of cardboard on the outside of the glass for a few days.
Thanks, will do.
Blackbirds love Tesco value sultanas. Or as my grandson calls them when we go shopping, Birdy Raisins. Trouble is, now we've had a cat dumped on us, the technical term is "bait".
