Subject: RE: BS: My Birds are Comittin' Suicide....
We don't have picture windows in our current house but years ago, when we did, they used to eat mountain ash berries and then fly into the windows. I don't know if the two were related; we wondered if the berries were slightly toxic and made them a bit loopy. I think they were mainly trying to fly into the reflected trees/open sky in the glass.

Maybe putting a loudly-patterned curtain in the window to help disguise the reflection would work? The neighbors might object to orange-and-blue paisley but if it saves some bird necks . . . eh.
