Red Robin

We went to Red Robin for dinner and found out that it was Kid's Night with Red. Red is a very large, rather scary robin that walks around making strange hand gestures to frightened children. Maddie nearly flailed herself under the table when Red wanted to shake her hand. Even Steitler the Brave refused a shake, offering a meager wave instead. One younger child at the next table cried until Red left our area.
Speaking of robins...we have maniacal, suicidal robin that insists on beating itself against our windows. On Sunday, Ben and I jumped out of bed, thinking that rocks are being thrown against our windows in the living room. We had not even reached our bedroom door when we hear Steitler yell down the hallway, "Crazy bird!" So we were all up at 6:30, courtesy of our own personal Crazy Red. This morning Crazy Red started his kamikaze mission at 5 am. Any suggestions to get rid of Crazy Red?
