Birds do not understand glass. They either see a reflection, or they see through it.
It's spring. Birds have returned to claim their breeding grounds. They will attack their own reflections in glass and mirrors, thinking that it's an intruder, particularly males who are establishing territories.
Or, they see the reflection of the outdoors, or passage through the house, and fly right into the glass. This is called a window strike.
There are two ways to stop window strikes and attacks.
1. Remove the optical illusion. Cover the window, open or close drapes, or use UV decals to remove or break up the reflection, or invisibility of the glass. If you can see a reflection - so can they.

2. Frighten them away from the area. Sun catchers, garden spinners, cds/pie tins hanging from fishing line, plastic owls or other decoy predators are all possible solutions.

Why does a bird keep flying and banging into your window?
Birds such as cardinals (red birds) and robins will dash repeatedly at their reflections in windows. Such actions occur because the individual bird, usually a male, mistakenly perceives another bird in the reflection of the window. It is territorial behavior for the bird to fight off the ‘intruder”. This behavior, if continued over a period of weeks or even an entire season, can be annoying to people, but is usually not fatal to the bird. On the other hand, when a bird strikes a window in free-flight, it does so with such velocity that the results are significantly more serious.

Why do birds consistently peck on windows over and over again?
The bird is seeing its reflection in the window of the glass and confuses its own reflection as a rival bird. The bird pecks the window in attempts to discourage "the rival" from invading its territory. This usually only happens in spring when territories are being re-established. The real question is "How do you stop the constant pecking of a bird on your window?" The short answer is to obscure the bird's reflection somehow like placing a bright light shining out from the other side of the window, or covering the outside of the window with a non-reflective material. The bird is probably landing on a nearby bush first, then spotting the reflection. So you could make the bush unpleasant to visit like a sprinkler aimed at it or foil strips? Perhaps the easiest solution is to find a picture of a really big bird of prey (the kind that eats your robin) and apply the cutout of that bird to the inside of the window.
