Birds really think the one in the reflection is another bird to which he can relate with. This is what I did when we had a parakeet in the cage spending its life alone. In order for it not to be so lonely, we placed a mirror inside the cage. Surprisingly, he has gotten to talkative from then on. We would always see him shouting in front of the mirror.

The bird is defending his turf. He sees a rival in the glass.

We had a similar problem with a bird at school. We think the bird is seeing its reflection in the glass, thinks its another bird and trys to mate with it.

haha i remember that last guy. He got famous when he discovered a duck that he flown against his window and died because of it. When he approached the dead duck he saw another duck hop onto the dead duck and proceed "rape" him. Did i mention both were males? :)

A bird used to knock on my window and wake me up on Saturday mornings when I was trying to sleep in. This went on for almost a year.

Actually, most of the funding for these areas of "research" comes from donations made to the universities and student tuition. The percentage of funding coming into universities via the tax payers is laughable. If anyone should be upset it should be the students paying tuition at these schools.

Maybe that bird thinks his reflection is a girl bird and he is going after her.

Gah, I am so dissapointed in people complaining about this video in regards to money and time/effort spent on "trivial" endeavors. If you're so concerned about the world go get a pH.D. and do the damn work yourself. You think they spend every waking minute on this stuff? It's called a hobby, some people watch TV, they think about science, they should all be getting awards for not exhibiting the lethargy which is so prevalent in today's society.
