    This works, I can produce photographic proof.
    Nearly this.....

    Sellotape bird food to the inside of the window, or, put out some bird seed mixed with yeast, watch it inflate and explode. Simples.

    Reminds me of when we used to save the bread from the meal and scatter it on the roofs of other canal boats on the way home. Ducks walking on your roof make a lot of noise on a canal boat in the dawn chorus

    You could hear the birds last night/this morning ? Down my way the storm was so loud I could hardly hear myself sleep.

    He was squawking away this a.m. , I don't know what he said that was so interesting but the rest of them re-tweeted it for an hour
    Just hum "all thing bright & beautiful" to yourself in the mornings - you'll be fine
