Wow, I've found the right place --- psycho bird victims unite! I've had male cardinal attacking my windows for 7 months now. I've tried covering windows, spraying windex(it was all I had) on outside of window, aluminum foil on outside of windows(I got creative for a while). If I cover one window he comes to another. He has now found my bedroom. This is from dawn to dusk and I'm not a fan of getting up at dusk! It's making me crazy, I'm smoking more, thinking of buying a gun(used to be a pacificist...) and losing friends! I've always been one to try to see a 'meaning' from the universe in odd moments but my love and peace tendencies are waning quickly. Please let me know if anything has worked ... I've got a lot of windows. Jeez, I just read they can live 15 years. I dont thidsfnk ihave thaat mch tiim lftt.

Brain swelling is what I've been thinking. When I attempt to pull out it's wing, he tries flapping them and I still can't see anything. I have tried giving it water but will try again. Do you have any idea what I can give it to eat? I don't know what to do for him but if he's dying, I'd rather him die in the house where it is warm and safe, rather than dying outside in the elements. He doesn't seem to be in any type of distress, but who knows, I know nothings about injured birds. Thank you for trying to give me some guidance, he's so helpless and fragile, it just breaks my heart.

I did read about the ribbons on another bird site and tried that. I put some up and the birds ignored them. Maybe that was because all I had at the time was white and that's what I put up. Maybe I should have gone with another color. The advice about the wind chimes got me to thinking. I have a wind chime inside the patio door. The glass in it is blue and when the sun hits it, it sparkles. Do you think that would attract the birds? Maybe I should move it. I never thought of that when I put it up. Guess I'll have to check and see if birds are attracted to certain colors. Thanks for the advice.

Had 45 mil the other day, Chas and 80 mil the week before so the grass here is greening up at last. Nice start to spring, just finished planting out some beans, lettuce and beetroot. Had tomatoes in about 2 months and they've started to flower so will have to get out the fruit fly nets soon. Hope the rain keeps coming. B.
