a Chaffinch keeps headbutting the window and is trying to get in ,the dogs are both sat waiting for him to achieve his objective.....with their dinner bowls at the ready..
it must be able to see its reflection in the glass and sees itself as a threat ,
dog----and bird = more entertaining than tv..!

our patio doors look out onto our garden and the dog often stares, barks etc at things invading our garden. in fact theres an almost perfectly horizontal line across them made from "dog grog" sprayed on when he barks and wet nose smears where he's pushed himself up against the window.
they also look a right state with the amount of pigeon shaped smears on them from where they have been flown into. had a sparrowhawk (i tihnk) fly into them and kill itself outright the othe day! those windows provide a LOT of entertainment

We have sliding glass doors onto the back yard and above that is a single pane rectangular window. When I clean it inside and out, you can see straight into the nice dark corners of the house.
I clean because we have 1-2 birds (finches and brown doves so far) a month slam into it...fall to the ground dazed right in front of the cats who are going crazy due to the glass door separating them from a tasty dove dinner!

I think it might be time to give them a clean.they also look a right state with the amount of pigeon shaped smears on them from where they have been flown into. had a sparrowhawk (i tihnk) fly into them and kill itself outright the othe day! those windows provide a LOT of entertainment

Do the little fella a favour and selotape a sheet of A3 up against the glass.
did think the 2 dogs with jaws open and white teeth all sharp would have been enough to deter it from its window attack.

nowI thought he/she might have been trying to fly into the sun which sometimes happens.
We've got a couple of birds do this at work, the only difference is that they are crows and they only seem to pick one window to constanlty fly into and that's the CEO's window.
It's even more amusing if you knew who my CEO is !!
The m-in-law has it happen in her bungalow lounge window, but it was more like a mis-manouvre & knock-out by the bird, rather than a headbutting exercise. Luckily the bird in question (a sparrow hawk) made a full recovery.
Also if you think about it, why do you put a mirror into a Budgies cage, Surely this woud really p1$$ it off rather than keep it ammused ?
