    I’ve come to the conclusion that everyone here would also have hit that window, and the bird is justified.

    Jesus, it must have been a severe hit if the bird shit itself. This being on the side of a building and not a window is really curious, though! Usually you only see this on reflective surfaces that the bird thinks is open sky. I wonder if a predator was chasing it, for it to collide so strongly with the wall.

    Edit: fuck, I’m dumb, there is a window there, it’s just facing a wall. Reminder that bird window stickers exist!

      Dude there was a chipmunk stuck in my enclosed chicken run the other day (door was open)…and I put down a broody hen just outside.

      They both kept on running into the hardware cloth walls.

      But holy shit was that girl proud of herself when she chased away the “threat”.

        The white area at the very bottom of the photo is the windowsill I think, it’s taken from inside looking out at the bird strike.

      I heard it once somewhere (so it could be total bullshit), but the birds , who fly into windows, are drunk from overripe berries.

      Ergo, don’t forget to put up a poster about drunk driving awareness

        It’s not bullshit. When I lived in Edmonton, we had a mountain ash tree in our front yard, as did many others along our street. In the winter, the birds would hop from tree to tree, eating the fermented berries, getting more and more blitzed with each bar tree they visited.
