MrMuddle Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 This bird flew into our window and seems very dazed, so my wife has pt him in a cage for a couple of days to llok after him, before she releases him again. She's done this with several birds over the years, but she doesn't know what this one is, or what it eats. Any help appreciated, thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post tonray Posted January 20, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 20, 2022 It actually looks like a juvenille (fledgling)...perhaps it was learning how to fly and crashed. Why leave it in a cage....if there's nothing broken....let it go 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Sophon Posted January 20, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 20, 2022 (edited) Looks like the same type of bird that I took out of the mouth of one of our dogs: From an internet search I believe it's a Green Billed Malkoha, but they have very long tail feathers, which yours seem to have lost. It can probably not fly too well until they grow back. Edited January 20, 2022 by Sophon 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is an illustration of a juvenile, which has a shorter tail and slightly duller colours than the adult. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post MrMuddle Posted January 20, 2022 Author Popular Post Share Posted January 20, 2022 Thanks for the helpful replies. My wife usually has a good instinct for when animals need help, she's nursed an Owl, a Kingfisher, several Mynah birds, and quite a few others over the years. It flew headlong into our glass front door, and was laid on the floor, until my wife picked it up, before our dogs could get at it. Hopefully it will be OK to be on it's way tomorrow, or the next day! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rwill Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 Lucky bird. Most of the ones that fly into my windows are dead when I go to check what the bang was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post MrMuddle Posted January 21, 2022 Author Popular Post Share Posted January 21, 2022 Update, he was fine this morning and his Mother came calling for him, so my wife released him back to the wild. Hopefully he will have learned that it hurts to fly into windows! Thanks again for the helpful replies! 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the birds are thinking they are flying into a tree not a window. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the hotties sans "baditude" are in Bangkok and Udon Thani. Pattaya/Jomtien pretty much sucks compared to those two. TOTAL sausage fest. Live in Jomtien and just spent a week in Bangkok and a week in Udon. In Chiang Mai now and it's hurtin' for certain too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
