Bird Brain

I don't know how this cardinal is still alive 

because this is his behavior for hours and hours and hours.  

If it's not a car parked in the driveway and it's side mirror

 it's a chair next to a picture window on the house.

The neighbors say they are woken up to him hitting the window everyday

 in the fall and spring - 

he hits their window for about 2 hours before coming to my house.

By the end of each season his head plumage looks quite bedraggled. 

A true bird brain !!

 Step 1 - sit on the mirror (or any object near a bright, reflective surface).

Step 2:  Fly to a spot where the reflection is better.  Aren't I beautiful?

Step 3:  Fly into another part of the reflective surface (mirror or window) REPEATEDLY!!!
