In fact, it's often difficult to see in the house from outside, especially during the day when this usually happens. In addition, there is little inside that would typically be attractive to birds. It's more likely that the reflection of the outside world as seen on the window is what's grabbing their attention, reflections of clouds and trees give them the sense that it's simply an extension of where they are at. As you can imagine, this is more likely for windows that have a mirrored reflective coating or tinted coating designed to reduce the sun's heating, but it can happen often with "clear" windows as well , especially on days when it's bright outside and dark in the room.
