[quote=Anonymous]PSA: not all injuries fix themselves after a few hours in a box or under a collendar. If you’re in DC, CitiWildlife on Oglethorpe St. will take it and rehabilitate it, if there’s a chance it can get better. Otherwise they’ll euthanize it humanely (no last moments staring into the fangs of someone’s dog). CitiWildlife actually has a program involving birds that fly into windows, and they give the corpses to the Smithsonian which tallies them for research of some sort. Apparently some at-risk species are decimated by flying into buildings during migration every year, and this is pushing some species closer to extinction. Of course OP’s bird may be a starling or some such, but OP is trying to do the right thing. If birds flying into this window is an ongoing problem, you can get nearly see—through decals that birds see more than humans. [/quote]
