A robin has been trying to break through my bedroom window all morning. I wonder if it’s the same robin that was trying to break through our living room window every day for over a week last month. I also wonder why it wants in so badly. My first theory was that it was attracted to a feather-covered ball we have hanging near the window in the living room. But then it moved on to another spot so I decided that probably wasn’t the case. My roommate’s theory was that it was attracted to the heat in the house. My other roommate’s theory was that it was the disembodied spirit of one of our friends trying to give us a message.
Whatever the case, it’s really loud.

This is a horrible/hilarious to me story, but in my parents’ old house, there was a sunroom that was basically all window. Birds would smash into the windows on a fairly regular basis. Our one cat, Kujo, figured out that birds would get stunned when hitting the window and would, thus, sit below the window ALL DAY waiting for his prey to literally fall into his lap. It was a bad scene.
So anyway, my thought when reading this post was that the robin is suicidal.
