Thanks Helen, don't want curtains, spoil the view.. Like Mags' idea.. Need a couple of really big hanging baskets on a pole.... Plants still doing well Mags, Hope you are wearing your thistle with pride.....!

(Its Mags really!! - forgot to change my name!) Only thing I can suggest is some sort of pergola outside the window most affected to block their view straight through - but that also serves to block your view too! Some poles with hanging baskets on? Anything to break it up so they have to slow down. Other than that - some elastic netting on poles about 8 feet away to ping them out of danger! LOL Mags xx

Big picture windows, did you say? Can see right through the house from front to back??? Maybe the birds can see right through too and think they can fly right through. Have you thought about getting some net curtains or vertical blinds on one of the windows?
