Sessy,first of a all,a warm welcome to BF.You can buy bird cut outs from mail order such as CJ birdfoods.You just stick onto your windows,and it deters the birds from flying into the windows.They are easy to remove when not required ,and leave no residue on the window pane.

Hi Sessy
Can't really add to Christine's advice - pigeons are very territorial when it comes to food - if you have ground food out and are attracting them, they will fight each other off until a few become dominant depending on amount of food available. My guess is they are 'attacking' their own reflections in the Kitchen window. The other possibility is, do you have feeders in front of the window, or at least reflected in the window? They will also try and 'charge' off ground feeders to spill food out onto ground. So perhaps a slight reajustment of your feeders might help also. (oh and obviously, if you have food out, such as bread etc visible through your window, chances are they can see that more clearly than the glass pane!)
and another Welcome to BF!

Hi Sessy,
Just a thought, but if you haven't done so already you could try putting up a net curtain at the window.
This would create a 'barrier' to the birds and might even improve your ability to watch them undetected as well.
