Yesterday afternoon, I cleaned my kitchen windows with Weiman Glass Cleaner, a product I reviewed and enthusiastically endorsed here. When I glanced out this morning, I was annoyed to see what I thought was a smear on the glass.
Upon closer examination, I realized that the marks were (1) feathers and (2) the faintly discernible outline of a body and beak.
Did some poor bird mistake my sparkling windows for open air? There were no little avian bodies on the deck, so I’m assuming that there were no fatalities.
I have NEVER had a problem with my house being too clean before. Weiman, you are amazing!

Diane, this is hilarious
Well, not for the bird, but that’s exactly how my house is - the windows are only clean when my husband cleans them!
Um, is that a bust atop your fridge?

Kate,
I now feel justified in my laissez faire approach to housekeeping.
Lawschoolmom,
Well, our neighbor is a liquor salesman. That object d’art [I'm feeling cosmopolitan today] on top of our fridge is a molded plastic ice bucket advertising Sambuca. Very handy when entertaining - lift off the top of his skull and voila! cold cubes.

Thank you so much for this post, Diane. I have shown this post to my husband who is a bit of an ornithologist so am hoping that he agrees I shouldn’t have to clean the windows - one less job to do!
PS: Blast, he’s come up with an answer: how can he watch the birds if he can’t see out of the windows!?
Sarah,
Sounds to me like a compromise is in order: designate 1 or 2 windows as “bird watching stations” and leave the rest untouched. It’s the compassionate thing to do

The most compassionate thing to do is to say that I don’t need to do house work! Thank you for this thread - Mark & I have had a great laugh.
