strange bird

For the past 2 weeks or so we have had a robin hanging around that likes to bounce off of our glass doors. We have these doors in our kitchen and upstairs next to our computer desk. Our house is very open and our bedroom is kind of in a loft over the rest of the house (no door) so we can hear everything in the house while we are in bed (such as the refrigerator running and birds bouncing off of windows). Starting at 5 am this bird just continuously bounces off the glass doors…thump, thump, thump. It wakes us up every morning, it’s annoying as all hell and sometimes it makes me jump. We cannot figure out what it is trying to do. Yesterday morning my husband got up and opened the door when the bird started thumping (he was hoping that it would fly into the house and get confused and then he could catch it and drive it…somewhere other than here) The crazy bird flew into the house and sat on the floor in front of the open door and continued thumping away on the window. Has anyone ever hear of birds doing this? We just put up bird netting in front of the door to try to catch it.

“So you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it’s sinking
Racing around to come up behind you again.
The sun is the same in a relative way but you’re older,
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death.”
