Quoting  Reid E. Baxter:

 The exact same thing has been occurring at my house for the past three
weeks. The bird ( I'm no Avian expert, but is is [sic] red breasted)
incessantly flys [sic] into one of our windows until we open the blinds
every morning.
----------
These events remind me of the story (or movie of the same name) "Silent
Spring" in which all the birds were dead and there were no sounds of Spring,
except these events are polar opposite. Instead of a "silent Spring" we have
the birds "breast bumping" against windows all over the country.

As in "Silent Spring" is the collective avian mind (yes, nee bird brain...)
trying to send us a message? If so, what is it? In my case with the bird
thumping the window only when the food has run out, I think it's "feed me" -
in Reid's case it's "open the blinds."
