Fortunately we don't have that problem with our cardinals. Likely they're are a lot of them in your area and they are trying to fight off the competition. I assume it is the males causing the problem.

I looked it up and What does a cardinal see in a car mirror?
When a cardinal happens to see its reflection in your window or car mirror, it’s seeing another bird in its territory–and that’s not allowed. The bird will continuously attack until the other bird goes away.

this is that time of year when they are very territorial - seeking mates as well as nesting sites. They see themselves and think it is a rival.

I have to place bags on my mirrors each day and night when I am not driving because they peck on my mirrors. Yesterday they broke my neighbors on both sides never happen before so I guess there are more in my area this year


They are the male Cardinal that think there is another male in their area. The cardinals are very territorial. I and my wife have been going thru that for the last 3 or 4 years. What makes me maddest is they poop on the mirror then smear it with their feet.

So true and it’s not good to leave it up there for later because it will destroy your paint
