Held Hostage by a Robin

May 18, 2009

On May 12th I commented on the annoying antics of a resident robin. Six days later he is no longer “fluttering at” our windows, but throwing himself against them! One by one I have closed every blind in the house.

 

This morning resounding thumps wakened us at 6:30 a.m. He had found the only window that has no blinds… our ensuite bathroom. We tried draping a towel over it, but the robin is now hitting the screened portion. On a sunny holiday weekend such as this I resent being held hostage behind closed blinds but I’m not sure what to do about it.

 

Somehow, I don’t think the Animal Control officer is about to come out and rescue us from a robin.
