Robin Dilemma

Hello,

What a beautiful day - blue sky, sunshine and temperatures in the high 60's. Can't ask for anything better this time of year.

I have a friend who's having a real dilemma with a crazy robin. I say "crazy" robin because he insists on flying into her windows and knocking himself down but manages to dust himself off and tries it all over again, and again and again. The theory behind this weird behavior is
it's mating season and he's trying to get rid of his "competition". A number of Good Neighbor listeners called in today with some good suggestions.
1. Put lattice up over the window
2. Place a plastic owl on the window sill
3. Hang a towel on the outside of the window so he doesn't see the glass
4. Put silhouettes of crows or buzzards up
5. Hang pie tins or steamers across the window
6. Get a cat

Let's hope this poor robin finds a mate soon before he does himself in.

Get out and enjoy the nice warm weather. We'll chat again soon.
