This stupid bird scared the mess out of me one morning because it kept banging into the window. It has been doing it for the last week. I don't want to hurt or kill it I just want the thing gone. Any suggestions?

1. Get rid anything that might be attracting it, food water, place to nest.
2. Place a plastic owl or hawk near window. Or window clings(stickers that look like hawk or owl )
3. If you have a cat or dog let them hang out near the window to scare it away.

I am not positive but I have had this happen before. The little bird would do it for hours. One thing I noticed is there was a female always sitting off in a tree or somewhere close by. So I kinda thought maybe he was seeing a reflection in window or something and it had to do with mating. Not sure though. I know the bird did it every day for about two weeks and then suddenly stopped. So just try to wait it out and hopefully yours will stop too. If you can't wait it out maybe try putting something over the window for awhile and see if that stops him. I just waited, my kids liked watching him. It was rather annoying though at times because he would really fly into it hard (at least it seemed that way to me).

It probably lives near you and thinks the window isn't there since it is see-through.
I suggest putting some window decals on your window so the bird can clearly see there IS a window there and he will steer away from it.
If that doesn't work, put up a nice bird feeder so the bird will eat the birdseed in your yard rather than act stupid by purposely crashing into your window!!
Good Luck!!

I think its mating season for robins. He is probably reacting to his reflection in the window thinking it is a competitor. You need to do something to your windows to eliminate the reflection. There are lots of ways, but the easiest is taping something like plastic over the window or putting something in front of the window.
This won't last forever, the mating season should be over in a couple of weeks or so.

Cut a hawk shape of dark paper & put it in the window.....
or a snake shape or just a circle with big scary eyes

Fake birds' predators. Such as owls or snakes. I always see fake owls on post offices that scare away other birds.

There are a lot of window decals out there that help birds see windows.
