Some options involve trying to reduce the reflective properties of the window, like static cling decals, strips of paper, or special sprays. Other options involve putting something else in view which is more important to the bird than its aggressive rival, i.e. a rubber snake or a plastic hawk or owl. I hope you can convince your workplace to do one of these, to save this little guy from himself. | |

If there are more than one, the pattern of behavior may be different than if it's a lone bird. @Chris H has provided you with some excellent scientific information, which I haven't had a chance to read thoroughly, so the answer's probably in there somewhere. I'm just curious in case that's a factor. Thanks! | |
