Help
We have a robin that keeps coming to our livingroom windowand in 2 days has made such a mess, not to mention getting on our nerves. How do we stop him from flying at the window.
He loves theowl we put out, uses it as a nice landing and ****ting spot. Help any suggestions.

Sylvie is the Robin flying into the window or just sitting on the edge of the windowsill?

Is he displaying at the window, Sylvie? If so, he sees his reflection--break up the reflection and he'll stop fighting himself.
 One way to do that, if you don't mind not having a clear view for a while, is to soap the outside of the window. Once the robin has moved on, just rinse the soap off  Or are they building a nest somewhere nearby?

Great minds think alike Hazel!
except I was thinking tinfoil in the window so he cant see himself and the tinfoil maybe as a distraction?Maybe she likes your DH and is giving him a show or he is giving you a show??

It does sound like display. He sees himself as a rival.
Soaping the window or even putting up tinfoil or cardboard on the outside of the window should quickly get him out of the habit. Once he can't see himself, he'll move on. You have to break up the reflection on the outside, though--putting something on the inside of the glass won't break up the light bouncing off the outside. Quote:

Not sure what is going on Hazel, he is flying up and down the window.
 I am sure they have nests galore out back (there are hundreds of birds and lots of trees. We had a cardinal who did the same thing, although he also would sit on the window and look in, this robin just flies up and down the window. Will see what we can do with the soap tomorrow. The view is disgusting right now as the window is so dirty (he did this in just 2 days) I am ready to ring his neck.
