A Bird has just crashed into my house window its bounced off and laid twitching anything i can do?

Answer 1

Put it in a cardboard box for shelter ... it's happened a couple of times here and once with some kind of impressive falcon type hunting bird ... it depends on how badly it is stunned and what damage has been done, if nothing too bad it should come round within 12 hours and be able to hop or fly away.

And BTW even if it looks dead it may not be ... look closely and you should be able to see it move ever so slightly as it breathes.... the falcon looked dead .. neck looked snapped but within a few hours it swept away with an awesome swoooooosh.

You're lucky you have your window in one piece ... ours was smashed!

Answer 2

We had a bird do this one time and here is what we did.

First we gently picked up the bird and then we trickled some cool water down the back of it's head to go down the back. We then tried to get some water in it's mouth with a medicine dropper. Just a couple of drops at a time though. We then set it up high enough so that it wouldn't get harmed from any other animals. Luckily we found out the poor thing had only been stunned. If this doesn't help out you may want to contact a vet they are the ones that gave us the tips we did. Your bird may be more hurt than ours was though because the one we had didn't do any twitching. Good luck to you.

If this happens often, put up a large dark cut-out of an owl with its wings spread. It will discourage the birds from the window. Sorry, I hate it when that happens. I hope it's alive and flies away, if its there too long a cat will eat it.

Answer 4

You could make a few hawks silhouettes and put them outside the windows, that will keep the birds away from crashing on them.
In Costa Rica, we put the bird under an aluminum pot and hit it with a stick... I know it sounds weir but it works...

Answer 5

If it is still alive you can take it to the vet to get checked out, but to pick it up you will need a thick towel, and a shoe box with holes in it. If it is not moving and it is not breathing with that same towel, I would put it in a plastic sack and either bury it real deep to keep other animals from digging up or put it in the trash and hope the dogs don't get to it. you want to dispose of it due to the disease it can carry.

Answer 6

This used to happen to us since we had a large picture window. Sometimes the bird will be ok after a while, sometimes its neck or wing could be broke. Not much you can do.

Answer 7

Not much really. Put in a box and bring it in out of the way of cats etc and wait. I am sorry but most of the time they die, but (depending on how hard they hit the window, ) some do get over it.

Answer 8

It happened to me as well! A parrot came crushing in my window, and i asked my mum about whether i should leave it or take it in, and she said to help the poor thing, and after that i had a great birdy! if you decide to take it in, it will be probably afraid of you for a while, but soon after it will get used to you. it is YOUR choice really. do whatever you think is best :)

Answer 9

Not really i'm afraid, if you were to ring the rspca the chances are that they would tell you to leave it to nature. I have found an ill bird before and rang them for advice and they told me that there was nothing I or they could do, was most upsetting. Its worth a go though, if you want to try ringing them.

Answer 10

more than likely, it just knocked the air out of itself and will be better off if you just leave it alone. I used to work for this store, and we had them hit the windows all the time and pretty soon they would stand up and look aroud like man I hope nobody saw that and then fly off...
