We have the same thing going on right now, I've been meaning to record it and upload. We live in Montclair Ca. U.S. and I've been trying to figure out what that crazy bird was doing she has 2 chicks by the way, I saw her feeding them the other day. Thanks for posting.
she's very sweet - we raised a sparrow from one day old so he is imprinted on us and thinks he is our child, or we are his flock, one of the two LOL - his name is Spoggy - you can see his story on our channel if you ever want to pop by. He is now a very bossy and healthy 15 month old sparrow - he rules the house I think - love and light from Susan and Spoggy in the forests of Tasmania, Australia - waving to you in Iran :-)
But, as a long-time observer of birds (especially sparrows), I am doubtful that the reflection was the only reason for her behaviour. (After all, how would you know - you are only a human ;))
Anyway, thanks for posting it. And I do hope you are kind to those lovely, highly intelligent birds.
The thing is that our windows are one-way reflective which means that they are transparent looking inside-out, but almost completely reflective looking outside-in. So, the poor thing was basically challenging an imaginary rival for her nesting tree (in the background!)

She's determined to go inside. Are you holding her babies hostage?
