Even having the inside cats throw themselves against the window inside didn't really put them off. Seems counterproductive from an evolutionary point of view. You'll have to knit a mirror cozy!

I moved to a different parking place, but it wasn't far enough away. He would even assault the car at lunch time. One day I had wing marks all over the wind shield where he beat himself up there. He never got a mate. I did see one female in the driveway with him once ... but apparently he was too hyper/stalker/abusive. I never saw her again.<br /><br />He vanished for a while, came back again for the 2nd round of nesting , but departed quicker. No female robins were interested (word got around?)<br />So far no sign of him this year. <br />The local car wash got a lot of business from me when I wasn't do a quick wipe down.<br /><br />M in NC<br /><br /><br />One hope is that if the nest is productive, he will be too busy being a responsible parent to be over-macho, wasting energy on the car.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8457557437300345355.post-87559670350406526612018-03-20T13:49:52.606-05:002018-03-20T13:49:52.606-05:00I've used grocery store bags and they help wit...I've used grocery store bags and they help with the mirror, but not the windows.

I had a new car so I parked away from everyone else, unawares of said nest. EVERYDAY I'd come out to spitty mirrors and bird crap all down the doors. I was able to move just a few spaces down and that was far enough for Mr. Mockingbird. If you can't park somewhere else, rubber band a plastic grocery bag over the side mirrors. :DLindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14626678045896424852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8457557437300345355.post-85925268882944141592018-03-20T13:37:31.229-05:002018-03-20T13:37:31.229-05:00Do you suppose tiing a rag over the mirror would p...Do you suppose tiing a rag over the mirror would put a stop to the aggression? <br /> I'm going to try this as the birds use the mirrors on my car for a perches.
