From John Stolarski
Valerie Moyses writes of “kamikaze” pigeons crashing into her bedroom window (24 May, p 33). I had the same problem.
Having seen stickers in the shape of birds of prey attached to a transparent noise barrier at the side of a Polish highway, I found a source of these stickers in the UK.
Before I had time to affix them, I got rid of a tall mirror from the back of my bedroom. The pigeon strikes stopped.
I think the reflection of clear sky in the mirror made the birds believe there was a way through the room. Perhaps I shouldn’t clean my windows so obsessively.
