Passage Summary: Usually, birds hide in bushes when they are scared, but birds at backyard feeders often crash into windows while trying to escape predators.

Reasoning: Birds instinctively seek cover in vegetation when threatened, yet birds at suburban feeders frequently fly into windows when startled instead of reaching the nearby plants.

Analysis: We are faced with a classic behavioral conflict: why would an animal's survival instinct lead it directly into a glass pane? To resolve this paradox, we need to find a reason why the window appears to be a safe haven or why the bird's navigation is failing in this specific suburban context. Look for an answer that explains how a window might mimic the appearance of the very vegetation the birds are trying to reach.
