Default mirror attraction

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.

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
