Most people on here couldn't care less but, personally, I would try to save it. BTW it doesn't look like a pigeon. 

Vermin.

 

 

Can your bird sing?  At least it’s not green.  (Ref: Beatles Song)

Dear GG, actually at times, I find your ruminations quite entertaining.  As far as the bird is concerned, I believe he/she recovered and has flown away.  Happened to me several times. 😊

 

And, were you also able to fly away?

 

Important Update:  This juvenile dove is still alive.... Very fat now, and walking around, dumbly, eating much, every day.....

 

Dear Folks,

 

I hate it when some guys post newsworthy stories, and then don't update them to provide the rest of the story....

 

Just call me another Harvey, I guess.....

 

Anyway, after the dove knocked itself out on my window, and after I had thought that this beautiful bird was a goner....MIRACULOUSLY....

 

This dove survived, and has even become attached to my window, it seems.

 

The dove was hit on the noggin, and now it's doing even better than it might have....or so it seems.

 

This dove, now made even dumber by my window, seems to enjoy not venturing far.....

 

Now, this bird is fat and healthy.

 

Therefore, nothing for anyone here to worry about....I guess.....

 

Such a happy ending to a ThaiVisa Topic, we rarely do see....

 

I love birds.

 

Sorry.

But, I just needed to provide an update.

 

It seems that the dove, which I originally mistook for a pigeon, the pigeon that hit my window and was knocked almost cold....

 

Well this dove survived, as I stated previously.

 

And now, it has given birth to two very tiny doves.

 

They are walking around here, as I write this update.

 

I am thrilled by this.

 

Life endures.

 

These juveniles are quite tiny.

 

Also, I think they do not fear me.

 

And now, I wonder what I might feed them.

I have bread crumbs.

Also, tuna.

 

 

Unfortunately, and obviously, this will be last possible UPDATE on this Crash-And-Burn Bird Story.

I fear that this bird failed to learn its lesson, while there was still time.

This bird, which I discovered this morning, seemingly hit the glass at the same spot, and then...

Seems to have walked like a drunken sailor, after being dazed, into the exact same spot,...

Never to move again.

I assume this is the same bird, but I suppose I could check its markings with the previous image I uploaded quite some time ago.

I wonder if this bird lived a happy and fulfilled life, while it could.

Would you say that it had a chance to pass on its genetic information to offspring?

Hopefully not, because the Dumb Bird repeated its error, twice, or who knows how many times.

Now, I must sit here and stare at the remains, until, hopefully, some Giant Buzzard will fly down and remove it.

I don't want to touch this carcass because I am not an undertaker, and have no experience in this type of undertaking.

Are you guys sorry to learn of the demise of this ornanism?

I have mixed feelings.

This young owl was sitting in the morning on our padio floor. I saw later some marks on the window.

So not only "dumb birds" fly into windows.

I was able to make exactly this one foto, then he flew away...

This can be fairly common especially if the window(s) have just been cleaned,

without any contrast the window just looks like an opening to a bird,

Dear Folks,

 

Althoug I have often said that I hate pigeons, especially when they are so plentiful around here, I must say that I hate to see any living creature crash and burn.

 

In this case, just a moment ago, the poor thing hit the glass at high speed with a bang, then fell to the tiles below the window, and then crawled into the shrubs.

 

My question is:  What should I do about this?

 

a. Good dinner tonight?

b. Take it to the nearest animal hospital?

c. Write about it on TV?

d. Photograph it, and upload it to TV?  (With my Macro Lens)

 

Is this not just a metaphor for human existence, as well?

 

How many times do things such as this happen to good people, seemingly out of the blue.

 

Any thoughts?

 

Thank you.

 

Best regards,

Gamma

 

Note: Pigeons are notoriously dumb birds, or so I have heard.

 

 

Birds are far easier to photograph, up close, when they are dazed.

 

What is this bird thinking?

What's on its bird-brain mind????

 

 

 

Place decals on the windows to prevent this from happening in the furture.

When the windows are tinted, then the windows become mirrors, and the birds are completely fooled, by this mirror effect...or this is my guess.

A beautiful specimen.

I used to have a house with floor to ceiling glass windows across the entire back of the house.  Birds would crash into it now and then.  Sometimes, they'd die.  But sometimes, they were just stunned and managed to get up and fly away after a while.  

 

What I was really worried about were all the deer that used to come around.  It wasn't just one or two.  Sometimes, it would be five or six at a time.  Anyway, imagine one of those animals somehow getting spooked and crashing through your window. 

Happens quite a lot all over the US and Canada. All they can hope is that they find their way out, as you don't want to touch a deer that's going haywire, especially a buck. I learned quite awhile ago just how strong they are.When we move back to Texas, I'm hoping to find a house that backs up to a ranch so I can have deer visit.

And, may all your deer be strong, male, deer.

Need those does to make other deer, and they're safer to approach.
