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.

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.

Put spikes on the window sill. Just kidding. Try putting food somewhere far away from the window sill. Maybe it will draw the birds away from the sill and towards the food. That might not work.

How the strips will look on the sills is another problem.
