A pair of cardinals living in my back yard peck on my windows and fly into them. They have food in feeders. What's up?
1 They are attacking their reflections because they think it is another bird. They must have a nest nearby. They are defending their nest and eggs.
If you can, close your blinds/curtains, or tape a piece of paper in the window so they cannot see themselves.

They're flying at the windows exactly because of the food in the feeders. They're protecting their food source from competitors. That those images they see are reflections of themselves is not available information.
Why do you think they're called "bird brains"? .

2 Yep. Birds get very touchy during nesting season. They'll probably stop in a few weeks, but meantime, the measures TurboB may help.

3 We had a male cardinal attacking himself in my husband's side mirror so I covered it up. Then he started attacking his reflection in the paint job. I uncovered the mirror so he didn't hurt the paint.
He wasn't flying into anything though like it sounds like yours are, so he didn't hurt himself.

I have three bird feeders and two suet cakes outside all winter! This spring I'm going to buy a mealworm feeder and put up my hummingbird feeder. Different birds like different types of feeders though.
If you want to attract Northern Cardinals, I would suggest offering black oil sunflower seed in a hopper feeder and you should have plenty of Cardinals at both of the feeders!
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
