"Political correctness is a doctrine fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it’s entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end." - Alan Simpson, Frontline Video Interview

At our previous house, there was a robin that continually pecked the heck out of one of the basement windows. We assumed he (?) saw his reflection and perceived the other robin as a threat. The noise was driving us crazy, and we eventually covered the window so there would be no more reflection.

At this house, the red-bellied woodpeckers occasionally try to drill holes in the deck posts, but thankfully have ignored car mirrors or windows.
The abnormal is not the normal just because it is prevalent.
