Bird tape didn't work for me, but a cheap window film trick finally did the trick

I kept finding little dazed birds on my patio every morning (especially cardinals, they seemed really drawn to one specific pane). Everyone online swears by those feather silhouette decals, so I tried them for 2 weeks and zero change, I was so frustrated. I ended up grabbing a roll of frosted privacy window film from Home Depot for like 8 bucks and covered the bottom 3 feet of that window. It's been 6 weeks now and not a single tap, plus it still lets in light. Has anyone else had better luck with a solid surface cover than with the stickers?

Man, that cardinal thing is wild. I had the same issue with robins going after a side window by my porch light and tried those owl decoys that are supposed to scare em off. Theyd just sit on the fake owls head and stare at me through the glass like I was the dummy. Ended up hanging a cheap set of those prismatic window clings that break up the reflection, the kind that make rainbows everywhere, and that did the job. Guess birds are pickier about their visuals than we give em credit for.

My buddy swore by cheap contact paper after his decals failed too.
