While I was busy at home working on the computer today I heard a bang hitting my window, shards of glass flying all over my computer desk. When I looked up I noticed blood all over the wood, and suddenly noticed something tapping against my foot. When I jumped up surprised, I looked beneath the desk and noticed a raven hopping around on one foot chirping wildly.
I quickly called the animal agency and when they came over they noticed the bird was wearing a tag from the owner living next door which you can see in the following photo as well as the window.

Since he is arab is it normal for people of their culture to own wild birds? Also, can I sue for having him let loose the bird in the first place and for damages?
Also, since he hasn't returned from his vacation, what can I do to take care of the bird who has a broken wing, and a injured talon?
Any help would be greatly appreciated?

You want to file a law suit? What is your damages, a broken window? Doesn't seem like its worth your time. Do the neighborly thing and care for his bird while he's gone. I'm sure he would be so grateful he will offer to fix the damages w/o having to go to court.

A broken talon is no big deal. A broken wing is fatal, like a broken leg on a race horse. You will have to end it's suffering.
As for our proposed litigation: I doubt seriously you could hold your neighbor liable. In the event you did prevail, would the damage award be worth the animosity of your neighbor?
If you explain the situation, and offer the remains back, I would think he would offer to mitigate your damages voluntarily.

Look in the blue pager of your telephone book.
You will find state licenced animal rehab & care
givers, under the State Wild life heading. That's the way it is in CT. it may be different in your state. They will give you a list of names to call and someone will come and pick it up. They will give it aid and tell them who the owner is, and they will call him....the owner doesn't have to know anything about you if you don't want them to know.

Well , who owns a RAVEN?? that's a little weird!
Seriously....after you feed it and nurse it as best as you can be careful, you could get bitten or attacked yourself...he needs to pay for the window.
Have an estimate ready of all the cost you incurred. Arabs have lot's of money...He will take care of the cost as long as you don't give him a lot of hassel.

You ought to invest in a shotgun. That will help take care of those pesky birds.
