This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Maybe it'll make them abandon their nest, but I hear these black bird of prey stickers on windows really help.
Not as much as you think, says my partner who does urban bird work. I remember she said something about dotted or lined film...

Oh yeah, and you can also get glass etched with the patterns. Apparently a lot of new municipal buildings do it to get bird strike certification.
I know they have some with a spider web pattern embedded in UV or something that the birds can see but humans don't. Apparently weeks really well but it's expensive.
Yeah, it's going to have to be something required by building codes eventually.
I don't know if there are eggs or babies yet and don't want to do anything that will scare them away.
Exactly, better wait until they've flown.
The chaffinch at my parent's place just treats those as rivals. Because he's an idiot.
