A bird just hit my living room window and is alive but just sitting there?

Question

what should i do?????? like put on oven mitts and pick it up or what???please help???

Answer 1

The best thing to do is leave it alone and see if it flies away. If it doesn't fly away in an hour or two the best thing to do is take it to a pet shelter.

Answer 2

Well, it may peck at you, so it would be nice if you wore some gloves. Next you should keep it in a box, for an hour or two, because maybe it will recover, and it is just stunned. But if it does not recover, you may went to take it to your local shelter.

Answer 3

Leave this bird alone!

Often they are kinda in shock, but recover and fly off just fine.

If it is seriously injurded, there isn't much you can do to help it any way so let nature take her course.

Answer 4

Just wanted to add, you might want to make your windows less reflective so birds do not keep flying into them..draw shades or curtains, or put some reflective decals on your windows.

Answer 6

Take it to a rescuse shelter they'll help from there pick it up with some sort of gloves and then put it in a box.

Or just leave it and see what happens i'd wait a little bit...

Answer 7

Just leave it alone. It will probably recover without your help.

Answer 8

The bird is just stunned. I have seen it a lot - I lived on a lake once and birds use to hit our house all the time. They would sit on the porch to recover and take off a bit later. I would let it be otherwise it could become more stressed.
