Need a craft to keep birds from flying into my windows.

[jojo54]

I'm posting this in several groups because I don't know if there will be much help. We have a sunroom with windows on 3 sides, one which is a big bay window. We have lots of birds around here-I suppose it's my fault because I feed them twice a week. Mostly it's mourning doves that fly into the windows and I know that they do it because they're seeing their reflections or the other birds through the opposite window. Fortunately, 99% of the time, they survive.

So, does anyone have any ideas on how to keep them from thinking the windows are a throughway? Any idea will be taken into consideration because I'm desperate. Thanks in advance.

1. There are decals you can get.

But the best bet would be not to wash your windows. :evilgrin:

2. I second the decal idea...you could make your own

I have a picture window in my dining room and have the same concern. I made an assortment of decals using "stained glass" paint (link below)

You could make your own shapes to keep away the boids.

Also the decals peel off the window without much trouble.

Good luck!
