bird pecking window

We have a bird – I think a cardinal – pecking at my kitchen window. I have no idea why but it's getting to be quite annoying. What can we do to chase it away? I've been going outside every time he comes around but it's getting ridiculous. Is there some kind of spray I put on the window that will repel them?

Birds get territorial from time to time during the year. During this time they will confront enemies or other birds they believe to be in their "space". The birds that are pecking are probably seeing their own reflection in your window and this is what is making them peck. Though this behavior may stop in the coming weeks, there are many times where it will happen year round. Obviously this is a problem.

To get them to stop, set out some Bird Discs outside in front of any window where you have this happening. You can read more about these discs in our Woodpecker Control article. If the Discs don't deter them, place out an Attack Spider. These mechanical devices move when birds or something else get too close and will chase them away every time.
