In April, I saw a Sparrow fly into the glass cover of the bus stop at the hospital. Now I stayed with it and it survived. Dispite this, I keep getting the thought of it hitting the glass and it upsets me.
I feel like I want the council to make bus stop with clearly marked glass, maybe in a pattern so the birds know to aviod them.
I just don't want to go through the whole process of wondering if it will live or die and telling people to get of the path incase they walked on it.
I had to push some people gently to get there attention and I don't want to have to go through it all over again.
I understand that animals die, but I feel that it's our fault because birds can see through it and we put it there.
If it crashed into a bush and a cat ate it I would understand but the fact that we were responsable for this make me feel we need to make safer bus stops.
It was horrible, it lay on its back and opened and shut it mouth like it was asking for help, I never 2c that again

I understand animals die.
If it flys into a tree I understand that.
But when it flys into things that are see through it not right.
We should have some way of letting the birds know that it is there and stop making them see through.
The outside world world is there home and we are not aloud to decortrate the natural world when it results in hurting animals.
It was idea of somebody standing on it and breaking it's wings and back, the idea that it would have to bleed to death for a hour.
Its horrible, I'm not a fan of birds but I don't want to see that happen to one or be nervous that it will hapen again.
Oh and it survived, I stayed with it til it flew away, that was good half hour.
Got people of the path and everything, some smart alex though he would stay on the path, I made sure he didn't ;-)
I sometimes do bad things but for the right reasons.
The bird must have been 3 inchs tall is anything, I just couldn't leave it and I never want it to happen again

It's not a nice thing but the fact you've become so obsessed by it seems to be a problem. You may need to get some counselling or to see your doctor. I think your obsession with this is masking feelings about some other problem in your life that you haven't dealt with

Delphi is right. Everything you say makes sense in terms of what we CAN feel...but it doesn't make sense in terms of what we SHOULD feel.
What is right and moral is not always to do with the thoughts of the individual....sometimes there is a social understanding of what we will feel responsible for and what we will ignore.
Tragedy is what it is...I know you don't need me to detail this.
I do not share your disquiet over this bird. I feel sorry for what happened, and I feel sorry for the effect it has had upon you, but I do not feel sorry for this bird.
I feel sorry that you seek to control something you cannot control. I feel sorry because I know that this will hurt you. Don't seek to remove this pain of reality...seek to accept and be strengthened by your knowing reality.
We all live...we all die...we all meet the ones we love and we all lose them.
This struggle is just a part of the journey...it's not that important

Why is it your fault that that bird over there died? Just because you witnessed something does not mean that it's your fault. Is it your fault I tripped today? Is it your fault that a goldfish across the world breathed its last today?
Death is a sad thing, but it's also fated. Nothing is fated to last. It's like compensation for being born. Don't feel guilty for all of humanity's giant mistakes, because I doubt your being there that day caused that bird to pass on.

And your leather shoes and the tests on animals to make medicines safe. What about 'animals' that kill us. Do you love viruses and bacteria as well. Malaria is a life form but we have certain views about it, don't we.
Be kind to animals and harm no one or thing but get a grip and keep things in proportion. The Life Cycle in the natural world is extremely violent, birds eating insects, insects eating other insects and so on. Rota, Orat, Tora, Arot.

hmmm.... Now tell me of your mother Hmmm.... I see........
The pink elephant.......... Do not think of a pink elephant.
Regardless of the idea that is constantly bothering you. Buddhist teachings gives the answer of ridding oneself of a awful thought or ideas by focusing upon as if you are looking down on it. Try finding the reason for and why you are thinking on it. Repeat till it no longer causes you problems.

Really can't tell if youre being serious!
If you are then I'd have to say - get over it - too many animals are killed through neglect or cruelty to worry about one sparrow - try an make a difference where it counts.
If not then ermmm lets just leave it at that.............

are you for real!?
it was just a bird, and i thought birds felt waves etc of the air rather than 'looked' where they were going!
