SAVING BIRDS FROM WINDOW CRASHES

Crash!  Thump!  I always hate it when I hear those sounds because my first guess is that a bird has flown into a window.  And, unfortunately, I’m usually right.

On our October, 2011, trip to Arches and Capitol Reef National Parks in Utah, there was a stunned bird sprawled on the pavement just outside the entrance to our hotel.  It had obviously hit the hotel’s front window.  What does one do?  I’ve never really known.

Until now that is.  I just came across an article that describes what happens to birds when they hit a window and what you can do to help.  I’m including a link to the article in the hopes that it might help when you next hear a Crash! And thump! And you’re wondering what to do.  I’m hoping as well that the bird recovers and you feel better because you helped.

Thanks for caring!
