How do I stop a Kamikaze Chaffinch attacking his reflection in our patio windows, I've tried putting a photo of a hawk there but that doesn't work. Any serious idea's would be appreciated.

I have a large dreamcatcher stuck to my window with blutak - seems to work. In my last house I had some round stencil-type things stuck to my windows after a few birds knocked themselves out - they're plastic and stick by themselves, sorry don't know what they're called. Only one window causing a problem here but since I stuck the dreamcatcher on it they have stopped. Very distressing picking up little unconscious birds although I did manage to revive one last year.

These should help.

This Chaffinch isn't injuring himself hes just attacking his reflection and its getting annoying, I put up a shape of a hawk but that doesn't work.
