Five O'Clock Charlie

I live in a glass house. For some reason a robin has decided that he hates it. Every day, beginning at sunrise, he's butting heads with his reflection. I could tolerate the annoyance, except that he's taken up residence and the patio looks like the newspaper on the bottom of a bird cage. Last year, I had minor success by painting the glass (they actually make a temporary paint for this purpose). But if I leave even one corner unpainted, he concentrates his efforts there. Aside from being unsightly, it defeats the purpose of having windows. Anyone know how to get him to move along?

Probably Robin is defending his territory during mating. It's a seasonal phenomenon that makes birds crazy.

Like young men in a bar, eventually they get over it.

Plan A: Get the narcissistic little bastard a mirror.

Plan B: Shotgun - kidding, don't want to read about this in the paper.
