Didn't know about the dust thing until I saw the picture below and seen a couple since...

I never had a bird hitting my window, but I did have this nosey parker one night

To be fair there are more than enough videos on YouTube of people walking in to glass.

Scared the tulip out of me and the cat!

The cat is not scared. It is just rueing a missed opportunity.

I've had some great ones. I used to live in a south facing garden with a pain of glass about 3mx2m. The birds coming out of the woods at the bottom of garden always became dazzled in the reflection of the sun regularly hit the window.

The downside was that the neighbours cat cottoned on to this, and used to sit and wait... Having a toddler come running in to the kitchen swinging a headless pigeon with its guts ripped open wasnt something the wife enjoyed.

It can be a bit annoying when their pavement anti-collision stratagem involves walking directly in your path. They come from the side and when they detect an imminent collision (often erroneously), they walk ahead of you, only to detect another imminent collision and then fly off.

Perhaps it's related to other flight animals who will do the same thing with cars and trains and often come off the worse for it.

I hit a pigeon driving to work a while back. It was still dark. I saw a bird whoosh in front of my windscreen, but his wingmans (pardon the pun) flight-path intersected with my windscreen pillar.

I suppose the little rat was dead before it hit the floor. I was doing 70.

Pigeon pie?

Flying at full speed and wind assisted, the fricking thing has just flown in to my bedroom window. I now have a nice dust imprint of a bird shape.

I wouldnt mind, but it didnt even seem to dazed, it managed to change direction after hitting the window and fly off.

Can you see a little catapult in your garden?
