A bird haunting...not for faint of heart..

[duluthralphie]

OH boy, I just write the above and he attacks again. He come to the window, hit it and stared.
I decided to try a different approach and not show fear, so I started talking nicely to the bird, He rudely turned his back on me! Refused to make eye contact when I was being nice to him.

Here he is doing the nonchalant haunting of us, notice how one eye is following me:


This is his exceptional rudeness, see how he turns his back on me.


Here he is glancing over his shoulder at me when he sees I am taking his picture, He gets PO'd then left, he does not like his picture taken.

Great pictures! You can clearly see the blank, glazed look in those eyes . . . . Zombee Chickadee. It's obvious, isn't it? He's looking for brains, 'cause he hasn't any!

Terrifying stuff - " Day of the Flapping Dead."

Ralphie: Have you tried petting the chickadee outside? Since he's so brazen perhaps he'd allow this. Show him your the boss.

 

[duluthralphie]

I am not brave enough to approach that chickadee without a secure glass between us!

I bought him bird seed today 2 kinds to try and appease him. I hope it works. I have heard stories of ghost birds breaking windows to get at people.

You do know Alfred Hitchcocks "the birds" was based on a true story, don't you?

 

[duluthralphie]

I know some of you think I am making this up. I AM NOT!!

I finally got a picture of him trying to break down the window.




That is him, outside, trying to get inside. This has been going on for an hour this morning when I decided to try and get a picture. He has attacked me in two rooms today, the bedroom, and the dining room. I could not even do laundry without the haunting!

Let the bird in - he won't hurt you.

What about hanging crosses on all your windows and filling the bird bath with holy water

Sure you can say this, you are 2000 miles away!

This is the first reasonable answer I have heard.

Just extend your tongue covered in bird seed. Safety glasses might be a good idea.
