My mom’s house has huge windows, and she’s a bird lover. Used to have a big problem with birds flying into the windows, breaking their necks and dying. She moved the feeders further away from the windows and bought a few fake flying hawk silhouettes, hung them in front of the windows. The wind keeps them moving and that’s why they work better than stickers. She also has a fairly lifelike owl out there, don’t know whether or not it’s helped, but birds steer clear of the immediate vicinity of the house now, other than hummingbirds. They don’t seem to notice. Took a while for the songbirds to come back to the feeders, too, so be prepared for a brief boycott, lol.

“bought a few fake flying hawk silhouettes, hung them in front of the windows”

Good idea RC!
Nikk, I had mentioned this to you before, and I hope you give it a try!
Best of luck!
Ms.
