Down here in Victoria we call them Mudlarks and, yes, they still attack
their reflections.. You could try a coat of some washoff paint on window
- but then you couldnt see out. Or make a screen or curtain of
shadecloth- gives some visibility but they might
shift their attention
to another window. As a rule they seem to survive these attacks. most
fatalities seem to arise from bird trying to fly through window being
misled by reflection of sky or window. Best of luck.
