I interrupt the post I was trying to write about confusing protesters with this bulletin regarding birds: A bird wants to come in.

It's been attacking the back window intermittently since I got home, which is about half an hour ago. It sits on the sill, dives up and pecks, then settles back down on the sill for a second before doing it again. This makes a really loud banging noise every time, but the bird seems unhurt - except, maybe, for whatever's going on in its little birdy head that makes it so determined to get inside.

I was in the kitchen making tea and anpan for most of this time period. Assuming birdy eyes work like human ones, it could theoretically see me while I was standing by the stove, but about ten minutes ago I went to sit in the living room on the other side of the house.

A minute or two after I moved around I heard it stop. I thought, "Oh, good, the bird has come to its senses and decided to give up on people houses and go live in a nest someplace." Then I heard a bang from in front of me. I looked up and saw a little birdy head peeking in the front window. IT CAME AROUND TO TRY THE OTHER SIDE. The bird knows where I am.

It only did that for a couple seconds before going back. I was about to write, "It's stopped now," but I just heard another bang. We're up to the forty-five minute mark, I think.

I just now remembered this, but I noticed yesterday that the birds had finally completely emptied the feeders. IS THAT WHAT IT WANTS?

A friend of mine noted on Facebook recently a somewhat similar incident. The speculation in the comments was that the bird was attempting to mate with her. My friend thought this unlikely, however.


(Heh. LJ's spellchecker claims not to recognize "Facebook." Nice try, LiveJournal!)
