Hi,                    June 23, 2011
    A bright light indoors directed at the window should do it; it would 
mask the reflection.
Yt, DW

> My sister in Pugwash has a small bird (from her description it sounds like

> living room picture window & was wondering why. I said, it probably sees 
> its reflection and thinks it is another male invading its territory. Even 
> closing the drapes still did not help. She is worried it may injure 
> itself. I know she is not going to go out & put something over her window. 
> Any idea when this behavior might stop or if there might be something she
