Male Cardinal

I have male cardinal that has been attacking my car mirrors and back bumper all summer long. I have tied plastic bags on the side mirrors and then it went after the back bumper. So now I have taken to put king size bed sheet in the back doors to hang on the bumper plus the bags. And guess what now it goes after the side windows and wind shield. I know that they are territorial but this is getting crazy. PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!

Hi,

it seems like everything that I might have suggested you have already done so i really don't have much to add on how to deal with the problem. I'm guessing if they are nesting nearby once they are done they may leave.
