So back in May of this year, had a dark grey bird about the size of a robin continuously attack all the windows on my house. It would perch on a nearby branch close to the window and just bounce back and forth pecking violently at the glass. I'd open up the window, stick my head out and it would just stare at me breathing heavily while it made this weird culling noise. My face would be 12 to 18 inches from it and only if I brush it away with my hand would it fly away and begin the process all over again at the next window over. It would do this continuously from sunrise to sunset taking the occasional break to feed. For almost 2 weeks this went on non-stop like clockwork. Then late on May 21st, after visiting my mom, I'd come home to about half a dozen emergency vehicles next to what was left of my house.

I've lived in this house for 14 yrs and never had a bird so much as peck at any of my windows and it happens just before I lost my house. Yes, I'm sure it's just a weird coincidence, but you have to admit, it's kind of freaky.
So what the heck was that thing doing? I'm convinced it wasn't attacking it's reflection because several of the windows are under thick tree canopy and the bird would still peck at these locations as it got close to dusk. I doubt it was able to see it's reflection under such dark conditions. And yes, I was awaken by the bird's incessant pecking the morning of the fire.
