Re: [cayugabirds-l] Frustrated Oriole

[Tom]

Tried that or similar.  The window is inaccessible w/o a ladder, but I put 
things up the w/ poles.  Also, put a light behind the window to dull the 
reflected image, but the sign stimulus and the fixed action pattern overwhelm 
my attempts,

RE: [cayugabirds-l] Frustrated Oriole

You could use bar-soap  to draw a bunch of streaks on the outside of the 
window, thereby breaking up the reflection, which should put him out of his 
frustrated misery! It will also free him up to put his energy to better use.

My heart goes out to the male northern oriole who periodically attacks the 
large under-gable window on the south side of the house.  It does, however, 
give me good, close-up views of his impressive beauty and suggests that there 
are orioles nesting nearby.
