A robin flying into the kitchen door yesterday afternoon, repeated the same hopeless effort every few seconds, despite all efforts to deter him. He continued this for 4 straight hours until dark. And now at dawn he has resumed his quest with even greater persistence. Meaning?

Update: My wife finally opened the door and welcomed him in. The importunate creature stepped up and looked around, then turned and flew away. His work was done. “Knock and the door will be opened.”

I wonder if it is about the white bag hanging there. It seems as if she is considering it a nestable place trying to reach it. This site gives some solutions. An interesting one is hanging a 8x10 photo of a person's face.

No. I tried hanging up stuff that I thought would deter. Made no difference.

a bird-wise friend says: Various birds that nest not far from humans see their reflection in a window and perceive it as a rival (this applies to the males, of course!). So they fly at the window to attack. We had a tufted titmouse one year that attacked every mirror on a vehicle

Yes, that seems to be the consensus. I liked to think that I was being visited by an angel unawares.
