Window strike:
On certain days when the lighting is just right a bird can crash into your newly cleaned window.
Living in this wonderful place, most of us like having our windows clear so we can enjoy the view.
If you don’t want stickers or decorations on your window, consider marking them with some UV liquid - you can’t see it, but birds can!
A bird has crashed into your window and seems to be injured?
Sometimes the bird is just stunned and after a short recovery period it bounces back and continues on its way. If you have pets or children or if the bird is potentially in danger while it recuperates, consider putting it in a box on an old towel or rag, away from danger and noise so that it sits quietly and regains its strength. There’s no need to feed or water it. After a few hours, if all is well you can open the box and let the bird fly away.
At other times the bird can suffer head trauma or has a broken bone. These cases require some time and rehabilitation efforts. If that’s the case- please call us and we will do what we can.
