Bluebird attacking reflection in car mirror

Mon, May 3, 2021 3:27 PM

A coworker told me a male bluebird (based on pictures I showed her) is attacking its reflection in her car mirror, scratching her mirror, and pooping all over her car.  This has been happening for about a week. She does not have a garage.  She is looking for some advice on how to stop the bluebird.

Thanks,

Putting a sock or cloth over mirror when parked would also help prevent
EABL from attacking mirror.
