    I've been Money Tipped!
    We stayed at a holiday lodge last year which had a similar problem.

    They used CD's hung on string in front of the windows, and those children's windmills on sticks to deter the birds. Apparently before they did this the bird would leave blood on the glass from the amount of bashing it was doing. I think it was a rook - certainly a large black bird anyway.
    It is a good idea to be alone in a garden at dawn or dark so that all its shy presences may haunt you and possess you in a reverie of suspended thought.

    Have you tried just talking to the bird. She might reason with you.

    Ex-girlfriends are the worst.

    Change routines to make the most of your new FREE alarm clock.
    I have alarm clock panic where by I need at least 2 alarm clocks or I can't sleep through fear of missing the alarms.
    What I would do for a bird smashing into my window at 6am?

    I agree that I think you have pinched the birds eggs, maybe unintentionally. Maybe you bought them from a shop somewhere and the bird has tracked you down?

    Or, maybe the bird loves you? You never can tell with birds. I saw one fall in love with an apple once.

    If it's a small colourful song-bird from tropical areas, you could complain to the Office for Budgie Responsibility.
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?
