Oh, HELL no! I'll feed birds, but they've gotta be native and NOT the bogans* of the bird world. We have a few Indian mynahs round our way (non-native bogans) and in suburbs closer to the coast there are ibis galore (native bogans). So no 'come all and scoff it down' feeders, only selective feeding

Yeah, I was a little surprised that it happened AGAIN.
I think he's just a juvenile, and hungry/confused. Either that, or he's trying to be a juvenile delinquent by breaking into my house, and he's sadly incompetent. I don't wanna scare him. I don't wanna hurt him. I do want him to wake me up later, with a cuppa coffee maybe!

I think he's probably a honeyeater of some sort, like this:

I think that I would cut out a paper silhouette of a predator - maybe a hawk - and paste it to the window to deter the birds from knocking and waking me up.

Does dinosaur refer to a physical interview, the type of job, or (heaven forfend) your age?

Ahh --- saw your answer. PRECISELY what I was thinking you meant (I'm in programming too).

I'm insanely jealous of all programmers, that kind of skill just goes over my feeble mind. Good luck on the interview!
