    Default Here's one for you bird people

    WTF is going on with this thing? It's been at it for almost 5 hours now (this is outside our bedroom window). It flies straight into the window and falls onto the ledge, then chirps a bit and flies back onto the wire and comes at the window again. I got video but I can't figure out how to attach it through tapatalk.

    Maybe it thinks your house is its home. It doesn't look like any other bird Ive seen in the wild in CO. Then again I don't get out much and when I do, birds aren't my biggest priority.

    Probably sees it's reflection in the window and thinks it is a competing bird.

    Yep, lost a side mirror on my jeep years ago to a Cardinal because of this. They will peck it to the death when they start this.

    This looks like an exotic bird- its beak looks very much like a lorikeet or a parrot. I wonder if it's someone's pet that got outside?

    It looks like it's more all-over red, and the beak color is wrong for a Grand Eclectus. Then again, it could be young. It does have the look that the Australian parrots have.
    Catch it, and start looking for 'lost bird' signs. They're VERY expensive birds.
