Hi Terry
A Brown Thornbill regularly sings to its reflection on a branch that is
touching the window
in front of my desk (Burwood, suburb of Melbourne). Sometimes it even pecks at
its reflection and then I turn on the light to make the reflection disappear
and the bird leaves. I don't want it to hurt itself.
Cheers,
Merrilyn
