Ruby,

I have a very high, slanting patio roof that is an extension of the house roof. There are also 4 big, square skylights on this roof to let light into my LR and DR where I keep all my plants during the winter. Ex-Hubby built all this and placed the 4 skylights so they would catch the sun at all times as it crossed over the sky.
Underneath, is my big, triple LR window ans well as the double DR window. I hang my bird feeders under the patio roof so that they stay dry and also the squirrels cannot get to them.
The patio has a smooth concrete floor, and I usually put some bird seed on the floor for the ground-feeders, like Doves.
Well, ANY disturbance (like me walking out there) will send the Doves flying off, many times straight up and into the skylights. I know a couple of times I have also had birds fly into my LR window. I probably have anywhere from 3-5 dead Doves a season laying on my patio. Sad--but that's life....

And, Ruby, WHY do you have to go to your grown son's room to collect his dirty laundry???? Can't he take it to the laundry room or, at least, put it in a hamper??
Don't enable his laziness!

Here's the picture I already posted once. Might illustrate what I am talking about....
