What should I do if a bird hits my window?
When a bird hits a window, it is often difficult to
tell if it is seriously injured or simply stunned. Many birds will actually
recover in a few minutes and fly away, while other more unfortunate birds will
break their necks and die instantly. If the bird has not fully recovered within
a matter of hours, call your local wildlife rehabilitation clinic and they will
be able to provide the necessary medical care. In the Twin Cities area you can
call The Raptor Center (612-624-4745) if the bird is an eagle, hawk, owl,
falcon, or vulture, or the Wildlife Rehabilitation Center of Minnesota
(651-486-9453) if the bird is any other species.
