Window Anti-Collision Stickers to Protect Persons or Birds - Avoid Strikes and Shock on Glass - Set of 21 Rounds - Diameter: 3 in - Translucent Frosted/Dusted - Window Decals

By: Decooo.be

Pete's Expert Summary

My Staff, in their infinite and baffling wisdom, have acquired a set of what can only be described as frozen portals. These are translucent, circular films they insist on sticking to the exterior of my favorite bird-watching window. Their stated purpose is two-fold: to prevent the more dim-witted avians from redecorating the glass with their entire bodies, and to stop the humans themselves from performing the same clumsy act. While I appreciate any effort to protect the structural integrity of my nap-adjacent architecture, I am deeply suspicious. The potential for these discs to refract sunbeams into new and exciting floor patterns is the only thing saving them from immediate condemnation. Otherwise, they appear to be a direct and tragic obstruction of my high-definition Bird Television.

Key Features

  • Set of 21 rounds. Diameter: 3 in.
  • Those round stickers can be used to prevent people window-shocks or bird strikes. Glass panels, verandah doors or bay windows can act like mirrors with the sun rays reflection. For this reason, we recommend to place those stickers on the exterior side of glass panels.
  • The round stickers are coloured on both sides. So, colour of the stickers is visible both from the outside as well as from the inside.
  • Guaranteed high quality materials with long-lasting adhesiveness (will not fall off over time, resistant to rain, freezing weather conditions and cleaning agents) and long-lasting colour (will not fade over time either).
  • Possibility to combine several sets to mix different colours.

A Tale from Pete the Cat

It was a Tuesday, a day that typically held the promise of a particularly foolish robin who frequented the feeder just outside the living room window. I was settled in for the show, my tail giving a slow, anticipatory thump against the velvet cushion. That’s when my human appeared on the *other* side of the glass, armed with a spray bottle and a small, flat tool. A sense of dread, cold and sharp, trickled down my spine. With a strange precision, she began applying ghostly circles to my window. One by one, they appeared like cataracts forming over the eye of the world. My pristine view of the garden was being systematically vandalized with these sterile, frosted crop circles. My initial investigation was thorough. I pressed my nose to the glass, attempting to sniff out the nature of this intruder. I batted gently at one of the circles, but my paw met only the familiar cold of the pane; the true culprit was outside, beyond my reach, a fact that was profoundly irritating. The world beyond was now a maddening mosaic of clarity and blur. The robin arrived, but he was no longer a sharp, vibrant creature of detail. Through the frosted film, he was a smudge of red, a soft-focus dream of a bird. The thrill of the imagined hunt was gone, replaced by a vague, impressionistic melancholy. I turned my back on the window in disgust and retired to the rug for a protest nap. I was awoken not by a sound, but by a shift in the very atmosphere of the room. The late afternoon sun, now low in the sky, was streaming through the window. But it was not the usual golden rectangle on the floor. The light, filtered through those 21 cursed discs, had been transformed. Drifting across the far wall and onto the ceiling were soft, shimmering orbs of light. They moved with the silent, stately grace of planets, glowing gently as they sailed through the air. They were uncatchable, untouchable, and utterly mesmerizing. My cynicism wavered. This was not a toy to be shredded or a creature to be stalked. It was a phenomenon. I rose and began a slow, deliberate dance with the floating lights, leaping not to catch, but to pass through them, to feel the ghost of warmth on my fur. The human saw me and made a cooing noise, believing it to be a simple game. She was wrong. This was a celestial event. They had taken my birds, yes, but they had given me a galaxy to command in my own living room. The stickers were not a toy; they were a tool that had inadvertently created a masterpiece. A worthy trade, I decided. But I’ll never let them know they got it right.

Scott Living Dari Heathered Texture Semi-Sheer Grommet Curtain Panel, 50" x 84", White

By: Scott Living

Pete's Expert Summary

My human, in her endless quest to alter our shared environment for reasons that escape my superior feline intellect, has procured a "Scott Living Dari Heathered Texture Semi-Sheer Grommet Curtain Panel." In layman's terms, it is a very long, very white sheet designed to fail at being a proper barrier. Its primary function seems to be teasing. The "semi-sheer" quality means it obscures the view just enough to be annoying, turning the crisp, high-definition image of a squirrel into a blurry, taunting smudge. The "heathered texture" might offer a decent surface for a preliminary claw sharpening, and the metal "grommets" at the top are intriguing holes, but overall, it appears to be a monumental waste of fabric that could have been used to make a soft blanket for my seventh nap of the day.

Key Features

  • Item Package Dimension: 12L x 8W x 2.4H inches
  • Item Package Weight - 1.2 Pounds
  • Item Package Quantity - 1
  • Product Type - CURTAIN

A Tale from Pete the Cat

The thing arrived in a flat, rectangular prison of plastic, smelling faintly of a factory I have no desire to visit. The human wrestled it free and, with much self-satisfied muttering about the "Property Brothers" and "good taste," hung it over the great window in the sun room. My immediate reaction was one of profound disappointment. It was a flimsy, pale imitation of a proper wall. I gave it a cursory sniff, registered its lack of any interesting history, and stalked away to groom a perfectly clean patch of my tuxedo front. It was, I had decided, beneath my notice. My opinion began to shift later that day. The afternoon sun, usually a harsh and direct affair, was tamed by the white fabric. It poured through the "semi-sheer" weave, transforming the entire room into a soft, ethereal space. The light wasn't just light anymore; it was a physical presence, a warm, glowing fog that made the dust motes dance like tiny, edible fairies. The "heathered texture" broke the light into a million miniature beams, creating a complex, shifting pattern on the floor that was far more engaging than that ridiculous red dot she sometimes wields. This was not a curtain; it was a light filter, an atmosphere generator. Intrigued, I approached. I discovered that by standing directly behind it, the world outside became a stage of indistinct, ghostly players. The mail carrier was a lumbering blue giant, the neighbor's yapping terrier a frantic, four-legged shadow. It was a new and fascinating way to observe my territory. Then I saw them: the grommets. A series of large, silver-rimmed circles at the very top. With a leap to the back of the sofa, I found I could stick my entire head through one. The world snapped back into perfect focus, framed by a silver ring. It was my own personal porthole, a secret viewpoint from which to survey my kingdom, hidden from the commoners by the shimmering white veil. The human thinks she bought a decorative panel to "tie the room together." The fool. She has installed a multi-faceted entertainment and surveillance system. It is a light-show projector, a shadow-puppet theater, and a strategic observation post all in one. The Scott Living twins, those lanky purveyors of human nesting materials, have inadvertently created a masterpiece. It provides tactical advantage, aesthetic pleasure, and endless opportunities for contemplative observation. It is, against all odds, worthy of my presence.

Ghostly Gaze Cemetery Window Silhouettes - 65" x 33.5" (Pack of 2) - Haunting Spooky Decorations, Perfect for Halloween Display

By: Amscan

Pete's Expert Summary

My human, in their infinite and often misguided wisdom, has procured what appears to be a large, static piece of plastic film. This "Amscan" brand product is, from what I can gather, not a toy at all, but a glorified window cling meant to obscure my perfectly curated view of the outside world with some sort of macabre cemetery scene. While the crinkling sound it likely makes upon being unfurled might offer a fleeting moment of auditory stimulation, its primary function seems to be blocking my surveillance of the local squirrel population and that brazen robin who taunts me daily. On the other paw, it might cast some new and interesting shadows on the floor, which could be worthy of a brief, tactical pounce. Ultimately, it seems like an enormous waste of resources that could have been better spent on high-grade salmon pâté.

A Tale from Pete the Cat

The disturbance began on a Tuesday. I was occupying my strategic observation post on the velvet armchair, monitoring a tense standoff between a blue jay and a particularly defiant earthworm, when the human began their ritual. They produced a massive, crinkling sheet from a tube, the sound of which momentarily diverted my attention. It was a pleasant, crisp sound, full of promise. But that promise quickly soured as they proceeded to affix this sheet directly to the grand living room window, my primary portal for worldly affairs. Suddenly, my sunbeam was fractured, my view blotted out by a gloomy, two-dimensional necropolis. An outrage. Unacceptable. My territory, once bathed in honest sunlight, was now plunged into a perpetual, ghastly twilight. And there were figures in the gloom. Twisted, black shapes of trees and what the humans call "headstones." More concerning, however, were the spectral silhouettes of beings who had clearly not been granted access to my domain. One lurked with a sinister stillness by a crumbling obelisk; another seemed to drift, formless and pale, near a crooked cross. They were watching. Staring into *my* house. With their "Ghostly Gazes," as the packaging no doubt boasted. My initial response was one of pure, instinctual defense. I leaped from my chair to the windowsill, my soft gray form a stark contrast to the grim tableau. My tail, a furious metronome of displeasure, beat against the window frame. I issued a low, guttural warning, a sound reserved for the most egregious of trespassers. The interlopers did not flinch. They did not retreat. Their insolence was breathtaking. Gathering all my courage, I pressed my nose against the cool glass, right up to the face of the nearest phantom. I sniffed. Nothing. No scent of rain, or rival cat, or even death. Only the faint, sterile odor of Windex and cheap plastic. With a final, decisive test, I extended a single, immaculate white paw and tapped the ghost. It did not yield. It did not dissipate. It simply... was. Flat. A picture. A cheap, printed fraud. The adrenaline of a potential territorial skirmish evaporated, replaced by a profound wave of cynical disappointment. My human hadn't invited spirits into my home; they had just installed a giant, dreary sticker. I turned my back on the pathetic display and prepared to stalk away in disgust. But then I noticed it. The way the filtered afternoon light pierced through the transparent sections of the silhouette, casting elongated, dancing shadows across the hardwood floor. The shadows of the fake ghosts... now *those* had potential. They flickered. They moved as the leaves shifted outside. They were worthy of a hunt. The decoration was an insult, but its phantom progeny would provide an afternoon's sport. A small, almost accidental victory for the human.

Zombie Window Halloween Decorations

By: Amscan

Pete's Expert Summary

So, my human has acquired what appears to be a large, thin sheet of plastic designed to commit the ultimate sin: blocking a window. They call it a "decoration," but I see it for what it is—an environmental obstruction of the highest order. It features poorly rendered images of the undead, presumably to frighten away mail carriers and delivery people, a goal I can sympathize with. However, its primary function seems to be the complete obliteration of my afternoon sunbathing spot and the obstruction of my view of the tantalizingly plump sparrows in the garden. While the crinkly plastic material might offer a moment's auditory stimulation upon unboxing, once it is taped flat against the glass, its potential for play is zero. It is, in short, a monumental waste of a perfectly good window.

A Tale from Pete the Cat

The sound began as a promising rustle, a loud, expansive crinkling that spoke of either a truly gigantic bag of treats or a new crinkle-tunnel of epic proportions. I lifted my head from the velvet cushion, my nap momentarily forgotten, and trotted into the living room with a dignified gait that betrayed none of my burgeoning excitement. There, The Provider was wrestling with a sheet of plastic so large it could have served as a sail for a small boat. My hopes soared. Then, she held it up, and the light from the window shone through it. I saw them. Ghastly, green-tinged faces with slack jaws and vacant, hungry eyes, all rendered in the cheap, glossy sheen of mass-produced plastic. It was an aesthetic nightmare. But the true horror had yet to reveal itself. With a sense of purpose I usually only see when a can of my favorite paté is involved, she carried this monstrosity toward my window. Not just any window, but the grand bay window in the den—the very heart of my empire, the source of the most exquisite sunbeams, the command center from which I oversee my domain. With a few strips of tape, my world was plunged into a sickly, swamp-colored gloom. The vibrant greens of the lawn were muted, the cheerful blue of the sky turned to a murky gray, and the fat robin who taunts me daily was gone, replaced by the static, leering face of a plastic zombie. I approached the desecrated portal and placed a soft, white paw against the cool surface. There was no life, no give, no interesting texture. I tapped it with a claw. It responded with a dull, pathetic *thud*. It was a barrier. An insult. A soulless film between me and my reality. I did not hiss. I did not scratch frantically. Such displays are beneath me. I simply sat, a study in gray and white solemnity, and stared at the zombie's face. The human saw me looking and cooed, "Ooh, Pete, you like the spooky decorations?" I did not "like" them. I was studying them. I was committing this grotesque visage to memory. I would see it in my sleep, not as a nightmare, but as a target. This was no toy. This was an injustice. And I would have my revenge, even if it meant methodically locating and destroying every roll of adhesive tape in this house until my sunbeam was returned to me.

Scott Living Dari Heathered Texture Semi-Sheer Grommet Curtain Panel, 50" x 96", White

By: Scott Living

Pete's Expert Summary

My human, in their infinite and baffling wisdom, has presented me with what they call a "curtain panel" from a brand named "Scott Living." Let's be clear, this is not a toy. It is a monumental, floor-to-ceiling sheet of fabric intended to obscure my perfect view of the bird feeder. However, I must admit some potential. Its impressive 96-inch height presents a formidable climbing challenge, and the "heathered texture" might provide a superior grip for a full-scale vertical assault. Furthermore, its "semi-sheer" quality promises to fracture the afternoon sun into a delightful array of new and complex sunbeam patterns on the floor, prime real estate for napping. Ultimately, it's a static piece of human decor, but its potential as a tactical observation screen and sunbeam generator warrants further, rigorous investigation.

Key Features

  • Simple heathered texture adds casual warmth to your space
  • Semi-sheer fabric gently filters light for enhanced privacy
  • Sleek gunmetal grommet top treatment fits curtain rods up to 1 ½” in diameter; rod not included
  • Machine wash and dry
  • Sold as individual panels
  • Pattern alignment may vary from panel to panel. Sold as individual panels.

A Tale from Pete the Cat

The day it arrived, my human called it an "improvement." I called it an outrage. They unfurled this colossal white shroud, and it hung there, limp and sterile, smelling faintly of a warehouse I have no desire to visit. It blocked the window, my primary source of live entertainment and squirrel-based indignation. For hours, it was nothing more than a monument to my human's terrible taste, a bland vertical desert. I scoffed, flicked my tail in disgust, and pointedly turned my back on it to groom my pristine white chest fur, a far more compelling sight. My opinion began to shift as evening approached. The setting sun, no longer a harsh glare, was transmuted by the fabric. The world outside softened into a dreamscape of blurry shapes and muted colors. The hard edges of the neighbor's fence, the frantic dance of the maple leaves, the very air itself—all became a moving, silent tapestry. This was not a barrier; it was a lens. It filtered out the tedious specifics of reality and left only the pure, abstract motion. The "heathered texture" caught the fading light, creating a subtle, shimmering effect, as if the fabric were woven from dust motes and twilight. I crept closer, my initial disdain replaced by a profound curiosity. I sat before the great white screen, utterly captivated. A car passed on the street, not as a roaring metal beast, but as a slow, elongated shadow flowing from one side to the other. A moth, drawn to the window pane, became a frantic, flickering pulse of light against the gossamer surface. I felt like a mystic staring into a crystal ball that showed not the future, but a more beautiful, poetic version of the present. I lifted a paw, not to claw or shred, but to gently touch one of the soft, moving shadows, half-expecting to feel the ghost of the thing that cast it. My human thinks they bought a simple curtain to "tie the room together." The simpletons. They have unwittingly installed a device for profound meditation. It offers no thrill of the hunt, no satisfying crinkle or jingle. Its gift is far more sophisticated: it provides a quiet, contemplative experience, a screen for viewing the soul of the world outside. It has passed my inspection. It is not a toy for the body, but a rare and worthy indulgence for the mind.

Gifikkazinn Blue Starfish Swag and Valance for Bedroom Windows, Swimming Ring Slippers Conch Pearl Swag Valances Curtain Panel with Rod Pocket, Window Treatments Curtains Valance, 56 x 36 in

By: Gifikkazinn

Pete's Expert Summary

My human, in a moment of questionable judgment, has presented me with... a window curtain. Yes, a "Gifikkazinn Blue Starfish Swag and Valance," which sounds more like a magical spell for summoning a mediocre meal than a household item. They seem to believe this polyester fabric, printed with tacky sea-themed shapes, is a suitable "enrichment" object. While the idea of a curtain as a gift is an insult to my sophisticated palate for play, I will concede a few points. Its "light filtering" nature promises to create more dynamic sun-puddles on the floor, and its "lightweight" construction suggests it might sway in a moderately amusing fashion when batted. The claim that I won't "tear" it is, of course, laughable and a challenge I will address at my earliest convenience.

A Tale from Pete the Cat

The invasion began on a Tuesday. The Human, humming a tune that grated on my finely-tuned ears, unfurled a sheet of what can only be described as offensive polyester. The scent of a long ocean voyage in a plastic box filled my kitchen, overwhelming the far more pleasant aroma of my leftover salmon. They mounted this… this *thing* over my favorite window, the one with the optimal view of the foolish blue jay who taunts me daily. A monstrosity of pastel blue, covered in cartoonish starfish and conch shells, now hung between me and my sworn avian enemy. It was a visual and aesthetic crime, and I immediately resolved to shred it as a public service. I approached with the silent tread of a predator stalking its prey, my gray fur blending with the morning shadows. The fabric hung in two lower sections and a draping piece above, creating a three-pronged obstacle. I extended a single, perfect claw and gave the right-hand panel a tentative pat. It shivered, sending a cascade of distorted light across the floor. The Human had called it "lightweight and breathable," which I translated to "flimsy and unsatisfying." Yet, as I nudged it again, it swung away with a whispery *swoosh*, then drifted back like a slow, lazy ghost. It wasn't the resistant fight I had anticipated. It was… compliant. My strategic analysis was interrupted by the buzzing of a fly, a clumsy oaf circling near the window pane, now trapped behind the fabric blockade. This was the moment of truth. I didn't attack the curtain; I used it. I slipped behind the polyester veil, becoming a phantom in the filtered light. The Human couldn't see me, and more importantly, the fly couldn't. I was now a hunter in an artificial kelp forest. With a calculated burst of energy, I pounced *through* the gap between the two panels, a tuxedo-clad blur of righteous fury. I landed silently on the sill, the fly dispatched with a single, elegant tap of my paw. I turned to look back at the curtain. It settled back into place without a single snag or tear, its printed starfish mocking me with their inanimate smiles. The Human, of course, cooed about how cute I was, completely missing the tactical brilliance of my maneuver. They saw a pet. I saw an advantage. This "Gifikkazinn" was not a toy, nor was it mere decoration. It was a hunting blind. A theatrical stage for my dramatic entrances and exits. An interactive environment. It was utterly garish, but undeniably useful. It would be spared the claw. For now.

ibasenice Dollhouse Window Shades Curtain - Window Shades Lace Curtain Models Food Play Blue Decor Cotton Toy Window Curtains

By: ibasenice

Pete's Expert Summary

My human, in her infinite and often baffling wisdom, has acquired what the "ibasenice" brand—a name that inspires zero confidence—calls a "Lace curtain plaything." Let us be clear: this is a minuscule swatch of blue, frilly fabric intended for a doll's house. To suggest it is a "plaything" for a feline of my stature and refinement is a categorical insult. It is neither a wand, nor a laser, nor is it filled with catnip. Its primary function appears to be collecting dust in a miniature fashion. While its flimsiness might offer a moment's diversion if I were to snag it with a claw, it is ultimately a monument to my human's strange hobbies, not a worthy tribute to my need for stimulating engagement.

Key Features

  • Lace curtain plaything: the mini curtain is not only and comfortable, but also has a strong decorative effect
  • Simulation mini lace curtain: can be used as photo props for taking some beautiful pictures, decorative and beautiful

  • Mini house curtain: a for your female friends, they will like it. cheerful you and give a nice visual effect for your eyes

A Tale from Pete the Cat

It appeared without warning. One morning, my human knelt by the study's baseboard, a look of intense concentration on her face. With a dab of some sticky substance, she affixed the tiny, blue lace curtain to the wall. It hung there, a preposterous window treatment for a window that did not exist. I watched from the arm of the chair, my tail giving a slow, contemptuous thump-thump-thump against the upholstery. My initial diagnosis was simple: the human had finally, irrevocably lost her mind. But as the days passed, a more complex theory formed in my superior intellect. This was not a random act of madness. It was a domestic necessity for an unseen world. A minuscule family, I deduced, had taken up residence within the walls, and my human, in her role as clumsy landlady, was providing them with amenities. I began a vigil. I would sit for hours, my gaze fixed upon the tiny curtain, waiting for a flicker of movement, a spectral paw to pull it aside. I imagined the tiny arguments happening within, perhaps over the garishness of the blue lace. "I wanted beige, Harold! Beige!" a tiny, ghostly voice might be squeaking. Driven by a need for intellectual closure (and a profound lack of anything better to do between meals), I decided to make contact. I padded silently across the floor, a gray shadow on a diplomatic mission. I crouched, bringing my face level with the absurd drapery. It smelled faintly of cardboard and cheap dye. I extended a single, perfect claw, and with the delicacy of a surgeon, I hooked the bottom of the curtain and pulled it aside. The grand reveal was… wall. Plain, off-white, utterly mundane wall. There was no miniature family. No ghostly tenant. No secret portal to a land of squeaking things. It was a lie. A flimsy, cotton-and-lace lie. The sheer audacity of the deception was stunning. This wasn't a home; it was a theatrical prop for a play with no actors. With a sigh that conveyed the full weight of my disappointment, I let the curtain fall back into place and stalked off to find a sunbeam. Some mysteries, it turns out, are just empty.

Reusable Christmas Window Stickers Glass Clings (NO Glue) Festive Xmas Party Decorations Kid Friendly, Featuring Santa Claus, Rudolph, Snowflakes, Trees Made by Talking Tables UK | 6

By: Tallking Tables

Pete's Expert Summary

My human, in her infinite and baffling wisdom, has acquired thin, colorful films from a company called "Talking Tables," a name I find both absurd and insulting to actual, respectable tables. These are apparently "reusable window clings" meant to be slapped onto the very glass I use for my important bird-watching and neighborhood surveillance duties. They feature a corpulent man in red, a strange-looking deer, and other festive nonsense. On one paw, they are glue-free, meaning no noxious fumes will interfere with my nap. On the other, they threaten to obstruct my view. The only potential for amusement lies in whether the sun, in its daily journey, might cast interesting, pounce-able colored lights through them onto the floor. Otherwise, they are a complete waste of perfectly good glass.

A Tale from Pete the Cat

The invasion began on a Tuesday. I was performing my mid-morning patrol of the sun patch by the patio door, ensuring its dimensions and temperature were up to my exacting standards, when my human arrived. She carried a flat, crinkly packet that smelled of plastic and disappointment. From it, she extracted a sheet of what appeared to be captured spirits – a jolly, bearded warden, a reindeer with an afflicted nose, and a blizzard's worth of geometric snowflakes. One by one, she pressed them against *my* glass. The audacity. I stalked forward, tail twitching, my soft grey form a silent shadow on the hardwood. My first target was the large man in the garish red suit. He stared out with vacant, painted-on eyes, a silent mockery of my authority. I extended a single, perfect claw and attempted to snag the edge of his boot. The material was strange—it yielded, a cool and smooth surface that offered a brief, satisfying peel before clinging back to the glass as if by some minor, pathetic magic. It was not prey, nor was it a simple obstruction. It was an interactive boundary. A challenge. I spent the next hour testing the integrity of this new installation. I batted at a snowflake, sending a faint *thump* through the pane. I head-butted Rudolph, whose glossy nose offered a pleasantly slick surface against my forehead. The human chittered encouragement, foolishly believing this was play. It was not play; it was a rigorous quality assurance inspection. The clings held fast, refusing to be dislodged, yet offering a subtle, tactile response to my probing. They were annoyingly persistent, yet... not entirely uninteresting. The final verdict came as the sun crested the house. A brilliant ray of light pierced the ruby-red suit of the jolly warden, splashing a vibrant, crimson puddle onto the floorboards. It quivered, alive with color. My cynicism melted away, replaced by pure, predatory instinct. This was not a window sticker. It was a sunbeam amplification device. A generator of ethereal prey. I crouched, wiggled my hindquarters, and launched myself at the shimmering red ghost. The human laughed. I, however, had discovered the true, esoteric purpose of the so-called "Talking Tables." They didn't speak with sound; they spoke with light. And I was listening. The silly decorations could stay.

Anti-Collision Stickers to Prevent Bird Strikes on Window Glass - Set of 20 Silhouettes - Color: Black - Window Clings Decals - Birds Prevention Deflectors Reflectors

By: imaggge.com

Pete's Expert Summary

My human, in a baffling display of poor judgment, has acquired a set of what appear to be two-dimensional, funereal representations of birds. They are, apparently, stickers meant to be plastered upon my favorite window—the one with the premium, 4K view of the bird feeder drama. The purported goal is to prevent the *real*, far more entertaining birds from their occasional, percussive encounters with the glass. So, to be clear, this is not a toy for me. This is an anti-toy. A blockade. An insult to my intelligence. The only possible appeal is the brief, fleeting amusement I might derive from watching the human struggle to apply these cheap-looking silhouettes, but that hardly compensates for the permanent degradation of my primary viewing portal.

Key Features

  • Set of 20 bird silhouettes of different shapes and sizes (see picture for details).
  • The bird silhouettes prevent bird strikes. Glass panels, verandah doors or bay windows can act like mirrors with the sun rays reflection.
  • Bird silhouettes are coloured on both sides. So, colour of the stickers is visible both from the outside as well as from the inside. However, it is advisable to apply them on the outside surface of the window.
  • Guaranteed high quality materials with long-lasting adhesiveness (will not fall off over time, resistant to rain, freezing weather conditions and cleaning agents) and long-lasting colour (will not fade over time either).
  • This product contains 6 sheets with bird silhouettes. For an easier application, peel the excess vinyl (around the birds) off and pull it all off the paper support sheet. After that, just peel the birds off and place them on your glass with clear water. Notice with pictures is included.

A Tale from Pete the Cat

I used to be a patron of the arts. The grand sunroom window was my private gallery, my personal cinema. Each morning, the sun would illuminate the glass, and the performance would begin. The actors were a rotating cast of local talent: the jittery, neurotic finches, the brash, sapphire-streaked blue jay, and the occasional hummingbird, a special guest star whose frenetic energy was a spectacle of its own. Their art was kinetic, a dance of life and near-misses against the invisible barrier. I was their sole, silent critic, my tail twitching in appreciation of a particularly daring swoop. Then, the human brought home the tragedy. She arrived with flat, sterile sheets and a spray bottle, her face alight with the sort of misguided pride that always precedes a catastrophe. She called them "decals," a word I now associate with profound loss. With methodical, maddening care, she peeled off the black, lifeless shapes and, one by one, suffocated my window with them. They were crude caricatures, soulless voids in the shape of birds, a silent, mocking flock frozen in place. They were black on both sides, ensuring their bleakness was just as visible from my napping spot as it was to the world outside. The effect was immediate and devastating. The next morning, the finches approached, saw the static imposters, and veered away in disgust, their chirps sounding like scathing reviews. The blue jay, a creature of exquisite arrogance, gave the window a single, contemptuous glance before flying off to find a stage worthy of his talent. The theater was closed. The art was dead. My vibrant, living mural had been replaced by a cheap, permanent cartoon. This was not a toy. This was an act of censorship. My initial skepticism had been far too generous; this was an abomination. I stared at the pathetic black shapes, these ghosts that had chased away the lifeblood of my afternoons. My verdict was clear, delivered not with a hiss, but with a quiet, profound act of protest. I turned my back to the window, hopped off the sill, and pointedly began to sharpen my claws on the corner of the human's favorite armchair. If she insists on destroying my culture, she will not be surprised when I begin to deconstruct hers.
