Just make sure that it's on the OUTSIDE of the window.
I wondered why mine wasn't working.....then I figured it out

lol. i would (as im sure you do) feel bad about such a thing but find it HIGHLY entertaining at the same time. maybe a screen of some sort would help, or at least slow down the bird.

EDIT:

or hang crystal prisms, its reflective and will deter birds

No LOLling from me, or entertainment value I assure you - I hope it didn't look that way. In fact, there was quite a lot of this sort of thing

I'm a big girly that way.

That's the problem once you get a rep as a jackass.

Those silhouettes do work though! Get some!

Also, for bird-lovering cat owners, get your cat a catbib - 90% reduction in bird fatalities. They are the ONLY effective deterrent, in my experience, and I've tried everything else.
I would post the link but I think that constitutes spamming.

Why not? I say let nature take its course. the birdies who can figure out not to fly into your windows survive and reproduce. The rest get eaten. Everybody wins.

edit: shoot. Spirilis already wrote what I thought, yet again.

Place over the window something that resembles a large spiderweb. Birds dislike getting tangled up in those. It might look ugly on the window, but it works.

There is a problem with that argument: domesticated cats are not a part of the natural order. Take a trip to Australasia and see how the flora and fauna has been devastated by the introduction of rats, cats and other non-native predators and you might change your mind....

Suspend dawn and let them sing on branches.
