Poor Bird(s)


Can you see the poor bird in the photo? He crashed into my patio door. At this point, he had righted himself and sat there stunned and recovering for quite awhile. Then we noticed he had relocated under some hosta plants. Eventually, he moved on so I am happy to think he survived. I have stickers on my patio door but maybe I need bigger ones.

Then, several days later, husband M heard a thud against the bathroom window upstairs. The curtains were drawn. So he went downstairs, certain there would be a bird lying on the patio. Here he is, he sat stunned for a short while then he was okay.


Husband M decided to put a plate of water out, and this bird immediately started bathing and fluttering around it. It was a day when the squirrels were again looking quite exhausted from the heat.  I used to have a bird bath then I got rid of it at the time the west nile mosquito virus was scaring everyone and they were warning us against standing water in our gardens.

    Good that they recovered - things like this happen often. Have a good week, hugs, Valerie

    Aw, poor bird. But he seems relentless and strong for someone this cute. :)

    I'm glad that the story had not one, but two happy endings and both birds were just fine in the end. I'd put out something for the birds near me but I have two cats so it wouldn't end well.

    Birds sometimes hit my window in the living room. But I never see them on the ground.

    I'm so glad they recovered. It happens sometimes with our front window. It's quite upsetting.

    I'm glad they recovered. It was very sweet to put the water out. I worry about standing water too. You already have the stickers, which is great, I'm not sure what more you can do...

    ouch, crashing in to a window. That one must have been greatly shaken. :(

    Poor little stunned babes. Glad they were okay after a bit. I do remember that standing water scare. I still don't have standing water around too long. Hubby has the blood that those little buggers love. Me, not so much.
