Cathy Kates’ Daughter Is Being Stalked By A Bird, Can You Explain?

I'm not kidding!  She was over for Mother's Day and started to tell us of a crazy robin that is stalking her.  I immediately thought about when birds eat berries and get drunk, but we're too early in the season for that.  Wait till you read this, THEN, tell me what you make of it!

It started when she was sleeping and heard something hit her window.  She got up, looked out and saw nothing.  Laid down again and before she fell back asleep, heard the sound at her window again.  Once again she got up and looked out and saw nothing.  She had started to wonder if someone was throwing something at her window as a prank, so she sat next to it and waited.  Before too long she saw a robin fly from a nearby tree, hit her window and fly back to said tree.  What the heck?

The next encounter happened as she was leaving for school that day.  She was the last of her roommates to leave and as she stopped to lock the door and turn to begin walking down the sidewalk the robin flew from the tree with a near miss of her head and hit the house behind her.  Yup, dive bombed by a robin.  Due to the rude awakening earlier that day and the fact that he almost hit her got her dire up and she ended up yelling at it and left for school.

Later, she noticed the robin (we assume the same one) sitting on the side of her car looking at itself in her side mirror and pecking it, and pecking it and pecking it.  Yes, there's actual peck marks.  BUT, the most disturbing has been captured in the picture above.  The robin unleashed a load of fecal matter in mass quantities on the side of the car?!?!?!  I just don't have any answers on this one, except that she should buy some sort of head protection for when she goes outside and ear plugs when she sleeps.  Got any ideas?  Has this happened to you or anyone you know?  Got any suggestions to combat this bird?????
