Any bird who lives primarily in the water is dumb as shit. They have unlimited protection above and around them, so they have zero adaptive pressure to put anything into their intelligence. Land birds have a lot to worry about so their brains are approaching human levels of intellect.
A land bird flew into my window so hard I was worried it died this morning. This happens once a month to my knowledge and I don’t spend long in my bedroom outside sleeping. Land birds aren’t smart outside of a few select species lol
Wtf. Would you please do something about that?
What do you want him to do, start a bird college?
Are you implying that helping birds avoid windows is an unsolved problem?
Yes. The only "solution" that we've found is to make the window with a "frosting effect," which humans don't like because we can't see through that.

Why would you say something so blatantly silly?
The only course they run is bird law
Like what? It’s a bay window like any other, I have blackout curtains drawn across it most of the time so I can sleep past 6. I’m not putting any stickers or anything on it that the hoa will get pissy about

I'd discuss options with the HOA, but you do you.
What color are they? That could be a determining factor.
The curtains are beige
Try a darker color, beige may be a bit too light. I dont know what is with birds a beige but it tends to cause some weird shit.
