Holographic scare tape (it's a product for gardens to scare birds away)
seems to work for me.

I taped vertical strips (twisted for max reflective effect, as instructions
said) 6 to 10 inches or so aprt. They kind of break up my view and I have to
keep duct taping them up every few weeks, but they do seem to work.

I put them up after birds kept crashing into the window with the hawk decal.
Name brand of the tape I got is "Gardeneer" (two e's is right).

I am having a lot of trouble with birds flying into my glass sliding door
off my bedroom. There are decals of Chickadees on the door in all the
strategic places that I can put them. Today three Pine Siskins have already
hit this door, once when the door was so steamed over that I could barely
see out. Earlier this year a female Red-Winged Blackbird nearly killed
herself. I have some feeders hanging off the overhang of the porch, about 2
1/2 feet from the door, so usually the birds don't get up to speed enough to
really hurt themselves. With three of the Pine Siskins today playing
kamikaze warriors on that door, I am becoming very concerned. Outside of
moving the feeders, I have run out of ideas. If I move these feeders, the
jays will take them over, also. If there is anyone out there with any
ideas, I would appreciate them.
