This wee NZ bird (Tauhou) smashed himself into our window today. He huddled on the deck looking very sad. We picked him up, gave him a cuddle then put him in a sheltered spot. He/she took about 3/4 hour to recover, then it was gone! Glad about that. They are delightfully busy little birds and often called a Ring Eye:
"My little Silver-eye, the boughs are empty.
The leaves have gone the way of leaves in winter,
But you go glimmering across the branches.
What faith upholds you?
Have you a hint that Spring has left its gateway?
You fly as if you bore the freight of Summer,
As if you dripped from little wing and shoulder,
A spilth of blossom! "
Oh I hate it when birds do that! We've had some that try to fly through our enclosed porch. Looks like a very sweet little bird. I wasn't sure if it was real!
I've never seen a bird like this so thank you for taking a picture of it and helping it live. We have birds hit our picture window quite a bit. They are usually OK after a while like yours.
