But then the towhee watched the jay come inside, and came inside himself to ask for more rice. Smart bird, but not smart enough to remember to come back in the way he came, and not towards the windows. Took him a couple minutes to figure out how to get back outside.
I recently had new windows installed. I'm hoping this will solve the problem of random unidentified birds getting into the house. One of the windows I replaced had an upper sash that would not stay up and birds would get in through the opening, since the screen only really kept things from getting in through the lower sash.
