for the last 4 days there has been a persistent bird trying to get inside my house any suggestions -2007-11-24 17:20:13

he is non aggressive. As soon as someone approaches him he flies to a nearby telephone line and waits until it is clear to return. I think it is a cat-tail bird? There are no nest - we've checked. I know all about the death myth just -wanted know if it could be something else. What can I do to send this bird on it's way.

HI

I dont know where you live or if this bird is migrtory in your area..

But I would guess. it is seeing its reflection in your glass.

Try covering the windows or glass where he seems to want in.. cover the outside with a towel or sheet and see if this discourages him. if it does then it was his reflection

If not.. Then you have a mighty odd bird there.

DO you have a feeder or put food out and recently stopped?

Does he have a water source anywhere near?

Im at a loss really.. if it does not stop..Id call local animal folks or someone to come out and make sure its not a sick bird.

Good Luck

BB gun.

some birds carry messages maybe you should pay attention to what you are doing when he try to get in or what is going on in your life

What's the myth? How is it trying to get in?

You should let it in. Maybe its trying to tell you something..

If the bird has a nest near your house he is trying to keep people away even though you live there. He might also see his reflection in a window or door that he thinks is a rival and he is challenging it. Just put up with him for awhile and he will go away after his natural protective abilities start to fade. Birds have been known to go after side view mirrors on cars because they see their own reflection. Birds are very territorial and your house just seems to be in his territory. Hang in there it will get better without causing any harm to the bird.

it possible could be a pet of someone who lives by you or around the neighborhood i would let it in the house and then see if the bird will calm down to pet it or hold it this will for sure let you know. also i would check around and see if any one has lost a bird if you could explaine what it looks like i could help you more but for know i hope this helps.

Maybe its going along your windows and gutters collecting spiders and small insects to eat. i have seen many bird do this and they seem to get a decent meal each day.

what is a cat tail bird?? there is no such thing on google?

Are you sure he is trying to get IN your house.maybe your yard is his territory. Unless he is literally trying to fly in your door, I don't think he wants in your house. If he is flying at your windows, he is probably attacking his own reflection which he thinks is another bird invading his territory. It is too late in the seaon for any nests to be around, so don't think that is the case. Cat-tail bird? What the heck is that.no such thing! Do you mean a Cat Bird?

let it in
