Subject: [cayugabirds-l] Male eastern bluebird attacking stainless steel flu pipe
Hi Bird Enthusiast!

A male eastern bluebird has taken up the cardinal's bad habits of fighting
with its reflection on our windows, and now he's also having a battle with
the stainless steel flu pipe from our wood burning stove. I have addressed
the window situation (for now) but 🤷 what to do about the stove pipe? It
is situated at the peak of the roof. Maybe cover it with plastic sheeting
and duct tape during the off season? I hate to see/hear them wasting their
precious time and energy fighting with themselves when they have far more
important things to do?! Any suggestions will be appreciated.

💐 Madonna
