Attack of The Towhee


This stupid bird has been faithfully attacking our house daily for at least 15 months now (as long as we've been living here). He shows up bright and early every morning to start his relentless barrage of pecking and scratching at the windows of our sun room -- perhaps he sees his reflection in the glass? Who knows. This pecking usually continues throughout the day and into the evenings (weather permitting). Video

We've tried various ways to discourage this behavior, but nothing seems to work. This is such a regular occurrence that Tofu even ignores him, however she does occasionally try to attack him through the glass (probably because she's so annoyed at the relentless rapping & tapping on her chamber window). . :)

I did a little research and discovered that the Eastern Towhee can live 4-6 years. . . *sigh*
