There is a male cardinal that is extremely attracted to the glass and mirrors on my car.?

He is leaving scratch marks on the paint. Does anybody have any idea what I can do about it?

Many birds are territorial. Your car is clean and shiny, so the male cardinal thinks that his reflection seen in your car is another male cardinal that is in his territory, and he must defend against this intruder. He'll stop once the mating/nesting season is over. Until then, park someplace further away from his nest, or get a car cover, or get your car covered in dust or mud so that it is no longer reflective.

Can u maybe park in another location? Call a pet store or maybe even the zoo and see what they tell you about birds. Another idea is to park in the same spot BUT purchase a car cover...that way ur whole car is protected...and hey it'll protect it from more than just him. In the end a car cover will be cheaper than the cost of repairing your paint job. Ixnay on the bbgunway! GL!

That happened to a friend of mine but it was the mirror. Are you sure it isn't that which it is attracted to. He covered his mirrors while it was parked at home. It worked.
