Can he see you in it? :D

Very few lifeforms other than humans recognise that they are looking at themselves when looking in a mirror.
That bird thinks he/she has competition for food and your attention.

Unfortunately most `birds` i have met over the years have had problems with mirrors............

Re: someone has SERIOUS issues they need to get over
 

I feel a lot like that when I look in the mirror.....I think if I had feathers I would pull them out. :)

he's a beautiful bird (Golden Mantel Rosella to give him his 'proper' name) with his looks you'd think he'd love looking in the mirror ;)

I don't know about Birds flashy, (like the name of yours, its like a duo introducing Flame and Flashy:theband::D) I often squart foam on the mirror when shaving, because I don't like the geezer thats looking back at me:D:rolleyes:

Re: someone has SERIOUS issues they need to get over
 

Has he just got the mirror?
Maybe he thinks this bird (his reflection) is a threat and gonna take you away from him?, if he's close to YOU then he may see this as another bird and trying to show whos boss?...just an idea;)

got the mirror 2 weeks ago Panther, he's never bothered with it till today lol

Re: someone has SERIOUS issues they need to get over
 

Its coming round to spring, it the time when nest building starts, he sees that bird in the mirror as a potential rival. Try putting it on the bottom of a bowl of water, see what happens, birds don't bother when they look down to drink, and see their reflection

Retlaw.
