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.

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.
Hat does it mean when a swallow pecks at your window?
Birds such as cardinals (red birds) and robins will dash repeatedly at their reflections in windows. Such actions occur because the individual bird, usually a male, mistakenly perceives another bird in the reflection of the window. It is territorial behavior for the bird to fight off the ‘intruder”. This behavior, if continued over a period of weeks or even an entire season, can be annoying to people, but is usually not fatal to the bird. On the other hand, when a bird strikes a window in free-flight, it does so with such velocity that the results are significantly more serious.
Is it bad luck for a bird to fly into a window and die
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.
yes you do not put a windowwhere ever the bird my hit
The birds are establishing their territorial rights for mating season. They are reacting to the bird reflected in the window.
Examples of nouns that can fill in the blank are:The bird was pecking at a grain of rice.The bird was pecking at a bowl of rice.The bird was pecking at a sack of rice.
A magpie pecking at a window is often a sign that the bird is either seeing its reflection and perceiving it as a rival or trying to protect its territory. This behavior can be particularly common during breeding season when they are more defensive of their space. The repetitive pecking can be both amusing and frustrating for homeowners, as it may lead to noise and potential damage to the window. Providing a way for the bird to recognize that the reflection is not another magpie, such as using window decals, can help mitigate this behavior.
A bird pecking at your window is a message from the spirit world. Ask the bird what message it has for you with your window closed.
There is a mocking bird who keeps pecking on my windows..... I close the blinds on one window, and he goes to the next one. Do you know why??
yes how: pecking at them

Yes its pecking at your window
Just return it to its nest if you can find it nearby. If not, bring it home and feed it bread with milk or earthworms if you can find any. Set the bird free if any bird comes pecking on the window (it may well be the baby bird's mother).

It's possible the bird sees its reflection in the window and is trying to defend its territory. Try placing bird decals or stickers on the outside of the window to break up the reflection. You could also try hanging shiny objects like CDs or wind chimes near the window to deter the bird. Shooting the bird is not a humane or legal solution.
The bird is seeing its reflection in the window of the glass and confuses its own reflection as a rival bird. The bird pecks the window in attempts to discourage "the rival" from invading its territory. This usually only happens in spring when territories are being re-established. The real question is "How do you stop the constant pecking of a bird on your window?" The short answer is to obscure the bird's reflection somehow like placing a bright light shining out from the other side of the window, or covering the outside of the window with a non-reflective material. The bird is probably landing on a nearby bush first, then spotting the reflection. So you could make the bush unpleasant to visit like a sprinkler aimed at it or foil strips? Perhaps the easiest solution is to find a picture of a really big bird of prey (the kind that eats your robin) and apply the cutout of that bird to the inside of the window.
