    I remember few years back, there was this robin that was obsessed with himself’s reflection in the mirror on the driver’s side of my truck. He would flap his wings as he pecked at the mirror, leaving bird shit all down my door. He wouldn’t quit. I kept washing bird shit off the truck, he kept pecking, flapping and shitting. Two years in a row he kept coming back. I normally don’t mind birds, I find them quite calming. But this little bastard had a mental disorder. So mid way into his second year of reflection abuse, I borrowed a buddy’s air rifle and with one well aimed shot, sent the poor little demented tweeter to the promise land.

    Your install looks more professional than a job a lot of pro's would do :thumbsup:.

    Have fun grocery shopping Greg. Being in that senior group, I try not to go to the grocery store on senior shopping days. They leave their carts blocking the aisle, run into shelving with the electric carts, giving you dirty looks when you say excuse me becuse their walker is blocking the aisle, and worst of all is forgetting where they forgot where they left their cart :facepalm:.

    Have fun Greg.

    I'm thinking about getting an air horn for my cart, lol. I still have a devious sense of humor.

    lmfao nice. it's like the squirrels who keep digging in my bonsai. i tried all non lethal approaches and now I have this:71hxL62bprL._UF894,1000_QL80_.jpg

    And I gotta be honest, I can't watch them flop around in the trap, I'm still human, but if they're already dead it's not much of an issue. One night I was sitting in my living room and a copperhead was dragging the dead squirrel and trap across the driveway.....

    I kinda like when animals do the clean up.

    We have this issue occasionally on this or that window around the house. We hang something inside or outside to break the reflection. One year my wife put a bunch of stuffed animals in the window. That was for a Baltimore oriole. I still wonder what that poor critter thought when it came back to look for it's reflected nemesis and saw a stuffed moose instead!
