went to a custy the other day and their patio doors on top of a balcony looked a right mess . custy said crow kept flying into it  at 4.30 in the morning.. not just once but several times . he said its driving him nuts waking him up and he can hear it repeatly keep bashing the door to such an extent there is blood on the glass. anyone heard of such a thing?

Yeah I've got one customer that had a similar thing last year.
The same bird (blackbird or starling I think) done it on loads of occasions.
It would sit on the window sill and attack the reflection of itself on the glass.
I think it probably died of a brain haemorrhage or something in the end.

^^^^^ see its own reflection.

I've loads of custys with this happening to them & it's on the increase. Don't know what's happening but prior to about 3 years ago I'd never witnessed this happen at all. It happened to ME on our own home just yesterday for the first time ever!!! 6am & a massive crow banging the hell out of my kitchen window with it's beak!!

They also sometimes strip the sealing mastic out from around the window frame & I've one customer who has to put socks on his windscreen wipers as they strip them of the rubber every day!!

It's weird.

It'd drive me stark, raven bonkers.
