Both male and female flutter very aggressively at the side mirrors mirrors on my van and then light on the top of the mirrors and whitewash the glass. Anytime you see my van you can sèe for yourself the results of this behaviour. Wild life behaviour is very fascinating and you can always learn something new by watching the birds and animals.
