Why are the all flying into my windows these days?

they just see it as a gap between the bricks, the only way to stop it is to dab sunscrean on the windows, unfortunately on the outsides.

I will try and dig out the post.

They never fly into leaded ones though as they can see them.

This is the reason many of my customers hang something in there windows, using those rubber suckers.

Off topic but, I had some water stains under vents on a window today ran all the way down. Scrubbed abd scrubed, but it cme back when it dried (a whitish streak). Put bleach, came back. Brick acid came back. How do I get rid of them?

May have been a mastic smear.
Have you tried getting up close & scraping it?

I've been close. It is a water stain. It only comes back when the window drys. I spent about fifteen minutes trying to get rid of it and then rinsing, but every time it dried it came back.

It it is water, that would be calsium carbonate, so I thought the acid might have done it.

Hi PJ

Each time I get the span of a bird in the windows I clean there is normally the reflection of a tree in it and the bird thinks the tree is obviously towards the glass.That is my theory anyway,maybe i'm wrong but check next time you see it.
