Hi Barry,
In the breeding season we have to hang black netting over our big front windows
about 6 inches out and attached to the eaves. The little wattlebirds, mynas
(RRRRRR) and even magpie larks attack our windows as they are one-way glass.
The netting (similar to that used by orchardists) works really well as being
black it doesn't really restrict our vision. Visitors to the house are often
curious though.
