Unfortunately this is normal breeding behavior as the bird tries to set up a territory. Birds do seem like they are going to hurt themselves when they peck and attack windows and car mirrors. However, they usually don’t do themselves any harm.
If you’d like, you can try to use something to disrupt the reflection in the future, like a sticker or something else that can be removed after breeding season. Good luck!
