Our windows always have the imprint of dove death on them - and it's usually because the sparrowhawk has been hunting in the garden and the doves have flown off in a frenzy, not looking where they're going. It's so sad - though the sparrowhawk doesn't think so.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04871239587214383387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7916560980028624531.post-50982085983658177832008-05-22T13:34:00.000-05:002008-05-22T13:34:00.000-05:00That has to be one of the most amazing things I've...That has to be one of the most amazing things I've seen in a while.

But we also have many kamikazes (all sorts of birds, not just mourning doves). Sometimes they even leave feathers stuck to the window image. I'm not sure if it's because they think they can fly through from our back yard to the front, or if they are trying to land on the houseplants in the dining room window. Sometimes I feel guilty that I put the feeder near the dining room windows....<BR/><BR/>The worst part is that if I didn't move the corpse right away, our previous dog would make a beeline for it and have a feast. I used to cringe when she would come back to the door with feathers hanging out of her mouth.<BR/>:PAinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08402176500997528105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7916560980028624531.post-31138317420642283292008-05-20T10:11:00.000-05:002008-05-20T10:11:00.000-05:00Angelique - Ha.

I believe you that it broke your window. It sounded like a pipe bomb went off when it hit the window.<BR/><BR/>Szelsofa - So, either way, you're stuck with a bird on your window? I think I'll take my chances.<BR/><BR/>Sara - I know what you mean. It's kind of ethereal.<BR/><BR/>Beth - You ran over a bird? As in, it just didn't get out of the way soon enough? I don't like the idea of animals being hurt, but I think your situation and mine are prime examples of Survival of the Fittest.
