The red cardinal may be seeing its reflection in the window and trying to defend its territory. To prevent this behavior, you can try covering the outside of the window with a transparent material such as plastic cling wrap or installing window decals to break up the reflection.


What kind of snake cleans glass?

The glass snake, also known as the smooth snake (Ophisaurus ventralis), is a reptile that resembles a snake but is actually a legless lizard. It does not clean glass but rather burrows underground and feeds on insects and small invertebrates.


Why does a bird keep pecking the window?

Birds do not understand glass. They either see a reflection, or they see through it. It's spring. Birds have returned to claim their breeding grounds. They will attack their own reflections in glass and mirrors, thinking that it's an intruder, particularly males who are establishing territories. Or, they see the reflection of the outdoors, or passage through the house, and fly right into the glass. This is called a window strike. There are two ways to stop window strikes and attacks. 1. Remove the optical illusion. Cover the window, open or close drapes, or use UV decals to remove or break up the reflection, or invisibility of the glass. If you can see a reflection - so can they. UV Decals: http://www.duncraft.com/Window-Strike-So... 2. Frighten them away from the area. Sun catchers, garden spinners, cds/pie tins hanging from fishing line, plastic owls or other decoy predators are all possible solutions.

What is the best glass to use for a bathroom window?

Opaque privacy glass is the best glass for bathroom windows. Block glass also works great depending on the window. If none of those work, a regular double paned window will suffice and then you can put window treatments in the window for privacy.


Can a mirror be a opaque object?

Great question! A mirror can be called as opaque. Because as a whole, it does not allow light to pass through it..Defn of opaque objects: Impervious to the rays of light.A mirror is actually a thin glass slab with its one side coated with silver. So when the rays fall on the mirror, it first falls on the upper face of the glass slab, gets refracted, travels through it, gets reflected by silver, travels back through glass slab, gets refracted at the upper glass-air interface and comes out.So here light actually "passes through" one of the parts of mirror- the glass slab(the other one being the silver coating).But when you say mirror, you consider the object as a whole and not by parts... AND as a whole it does not allow light to pass through it. Therefore, you can very well call it opaque!!


Is glass a opaque object?

The only problem that I see, if it was meant to be opaque, is that you can't see through it, which defeats the purpose of a window. If you are trying to make/buy clear glass, impurities within the glass would not allow light to pass through as easily and I imagine that this might make the glass weaker and less useful.

What is the difference between tinted glass and privacy glass?

Typically "tinted glass" refers to glass with a window tinting film applied. Privacy glass, however, is when the actual glass itself is less transparent. There is no film on the surface, so it is much more durable and lasts as long as the glass doesn't get broken. Typically, privacy glass allows in very little light as a function of its purpose (to create privacy), but window tint can run a range from only slightly opaque to completely opaque.


What type of material is a mirror?

A mirror is made out of glass. Since light doesn't travel through a mirror, it is opaque. On the back of a mirror is a thin layer of silver or chrome which is the reflecting surface. Behind this is backing which keeps the silver in place and keeps it from oxidizing.
