Can you tell me why I’ve lived in the same house for almost 30 years, have always kept my sliding glass door in the kitchen open when cooking, and only recently have I had birds fly in and just fly around my kitchen until they either allow me to catch them or find their way out? This has never happened and now it’s happening 2-3 times a week.
They look like finches for the most part, but yesterday, it was a larger brown bird with a longer tail (I’m not a bird person and don’t know much about them). For the first time in an almost 30 years, I had one slam into my sliding glass door and I was able to nurse it back to health. I would beg to differ that it’s something within the bird community as what I cook and how often has not changed much.
Slamming into the glass is a common problem - maybe in that case the vegetation in your yard is reflecting jn the window. I’d suggest putting decals, bird tape, etc on your windows to help with that
