Q. A bird keeps attacking my window! What's going on?
A. Male birds commonly attack windows during mating season. The bird wrongly assumes that his own reflection is a rival in his territory! You can prevent this by hanging hawk-shaped silhouettes, cloth, or squares of aluminum foil outside the window to break up the reflection.Q. What should I do if I find a nest of baby rabbits?A. If the nest is intact, leave it alone! Mother rabbits only visit their young 2 or 3 times a day to avoid attracting predators. If the nest has been disturbed, or if you have reason to believe that the babies are orphaned, you can put an `X' of yarn or sticks over the nest to assess if the mother has returned to nurse them. If the `X' remains undisturbed for 24 hours, call your wildlife agency to locate a rehabilitator. Keep all cats out of the area because they will surely find and kill the helpless young rabbits. Don't touch the babies (unless orphaned) because mother rabbits are very sensitive in foreign smells and may abandon their young ones.
