    I enjoyed our chat! 😉 I haven’t put out any fall decor yet. We are getting new living room furniture so I am sort of waiting…. But furniture was ordered in June and we don’t have it yet so…. My husband makes Chex mix at Christmas time. Only he makes close to 15 batches! We give tons and tons of it away. He also adds pecan halves and cashews. But the rest of the recipe is very similar to yours. I hope you have a wonderful fall! Jackie from Indiana

    Hi Jennifer. I love watching people make coffee! I had birds try and fly into a window and I put an old cd disc on the window. It seemed to have done the trick. I believe you can purchase something specific for this also, but I don't have the name. Poor bird. When I was a little girl my grandfather would say when you see a red bird that means snow (he must have said this during the winter months). Others say it is a family member (or someone close to you) that has passed. Saying hello ....

  • @jenniferc.5232

    Love your vlog videos! Happy autumn! Seems to me that the cardinal might be seeing either it's own reflection (as a rival it wants to chase away) or it sees the reflection of the trees/bushes and wants to go to them. Cardinals aren't know for their intellect.

    • @JustJennifer

  • @suzannehall5200
    @suzannehall5200 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Have you considered speaking to a vet about the bird? Birds are highly intelligent creatures and there will be a reason for it. I have a family of magpies who live in our front garden. I put fresh water out for them and when it runs out or gets too dirty one of them knocks on my loungeroom window to tell me to refresh it. When I was a child my Dad rescued an injured sparrow (we called him Mr Sparrit) in the backyard. The vet bandaged him up and we were able to release him back into the wild after 6 weeks. For a long time after that he would knock on the kitchen window every few days, come in and play with us and then fly off again. I wonder if your bird was once a pet? If so there may be wanted posters for him at the local vets surgeries. I saw one at my vet’s once that read, “Founy. Budgie with yellow and green feathers. Says his is Bruce.”
    Gracie is just beyond adorable!

    That bird is crazy! Cardinals are the state bird here in Kentucky and they are all around and I've never had one repeatedly fly into the windows! Keep us posted if you find out what's going on. September 1 is my fall decor day each year and I have the same months as you do for seasons. The Chex mix is one of my favorite treats. Yes, with football especially. Loved your clip at the end. TFS

    • @JustJennifer
      @JustJennifer  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Well, apparently the cardinals in Kentucky are much smarter and more well behaved than the crazy variety we have in Illinois! Lol!

    OMG! We have a similar crazy cardinal situation! Ours likes to hurl himself against the kick plate on our front door. He did it for two months straight last Spring and then returned this Spring. We tried to outsmart him and removed the kick plate, but he hurled himself against the window next to the front door instead. Also caught him attacking my son's brand new car in the driveway (left little tiny beak marks on the car). He has a wife and a nest nearby, so I think he is protecting the perimeter around nest. I am very superstitious and I also went crazy looking up all the possible meanings, but I've concluded that he's just attacking his reflection. At least I hope that's it! Haha

    • @JustJennifer
      @JustJennifer  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      We had a "kick plate attack bird" in our previous house, and the same thing happened. We smeared it with rubbing compound to dull the shine and the bird just moved on to another window. Then he went around back and found the sunroom and then the real fun began! Yikes! I'm looking forward to winter when he'll have to snuggle down into a nest or fly away somewhere warmer! I looked into all the meanings too, and with my parents' current situation I was concerned. But, when my neighbors said the bird was attacking their windows too, I felt better about the "someone is going to pass away" superstition.
