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.

Maybe it'll make them abandon their nest, but I hear these black bird of prey stickers on windows really help.

    Not as much as you think, says my partner who does urban bird work. I remember she said something about dotted or lined film...

    Oh yeah, and you can also get glass etched with the patterns. Apparently a lot of new municipal buildings do it to get bird strike certification.
