Ive had people use reflective tape, or an alum pie pan or CD attached to the string and dangling at the level he is attacking. I call that testosterone poisoning when they do that :) Helene Helene Van Doninck DVM Cobequid Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre RR#1 Brookfield Nova Scotia Canada B0N1C0 hvandoninck@eastlink.ca www.cwrc.net <http://cwrcblog.blogspot.com/> 1-902-893-0253 Join us on June 19 at Kegger's for the 2nd Annual Wildlife Benefit Concert and Silent Auction -----Original Message----- From: naturens-owner@chebucto.ns.ca [mailto:naturens-owner@chebucto.ns.ca]On Behalf Of Bruce Stevens Sent: Sunday, June 13, 2010 1:08 PM To: naturens@chebucto.ns.ca Subject: [NatureNS] Common Yellowthroat behaviour My parents have a male Common Yellowthroat that is repeatedly trying to get in through (or attack) a glass window that does not open and has no screen. It has tried this behaviour on two separate occasions, the latest is still ongoing. I'd say he's been at it for about two hours now with minimal interruption. A female has been spotted within 30 feet of where this is going on. His pattern is to perch on a branch that is touching or nearly touching the window (the plant is a wayfaring tree if I have the name correct) and then hover for 2 to 3 seconds will trying to push into the window. I wouldn't say he is trying to stab at his reflection or is acting overly aggressive. Any ideas as to what he's up to? He doesn't seem to be hurting himself - should we pull the blind to camouflage the window's transparency? -- Bruce Stevens Maryvale, NS --Boundary_(ID_LrIjMBd2kCAeOqo05SDtIw) Content-type: text/html; CHARSET=US-ASCII Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> <META content="MSHTML 6.00.6000.17063" name=GENERATOR></HEAD> <BODY> <DIV><SPAN class=500511610-16062010><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>You can also try dangling something that flutters on the outside of the window.
