This little bird has been doing this at my back door for two days (streamable.com)

A pair has built a nest in the patio cover above the door. We think he might be seeing his reflection on the glass and defending the nest from the "other" bird. He does it for like 15 minutes at a time, off and on for a number of hours.

They make stickers you can put on the glass to keep birds from flying into it. Might be worth a shot?

    As I said to someone else, I don't want to use any that will scare them away in case there are eggs or babies.

    I think most of those stickers are designed to let the birds know there's glass there so they don't fly into it. I don't think that's the issue here - I think he's seeing his reflection. I'm guessing I'd have to cover the glass with something less reflective to eliminate the issue.
