Hi My daughter wants to know why birds and mosquitoes are attracted to mirrors? You might have seen more mosquitoes on your mirrors than on the wall or furniture.Also birds pecking on car rear view morrors is a common sight. Please explain. Sreshta
dear sreshta, mosquitos i am not aware but yes birds they see an image of another bird and they are not aware it is them,so peck at it with vigour, even monkeys go behind and look for the monkey that it is able to see in the mirror, it takes a long time for them to get tired of this game...sunkan
Dear Sunkan, Yes, they are very much attracted to the mirror.There must be some special reason.That picture is very funny.Thank you. Sreshta
Hi Sreshta I found this article interesting on the above topic Please see the link below: Reflections of Primate Minds: Mirror images strike monkeys as special: Science News Online, July 23, 2005 Cheers
good photograph sunkan. may be as they dont know abt mirror. they dont know that the image in the mirror is the their own one. may be they think that image is a another bird or monkey.............
