Unhappy Bye Bye Bird

a pretty little bird just flew into our glass doors and is lying there injured. I don't know what to do! The boss moved him over to the bushes - I'm hoping he's just shocked from the impact. It doesn't look like his neck is broken.

And the cleaning crew just left. It's like that bad commercial where the lady windexes the door and the birds smash into it.

Re Bye Bye Bird

This happened to me at our store one day. The bird actually hit so hard it left feathers on the glass. I was sure it was dead, but just nudged it out of the way of the door to keep it from getting stepped on. After a bit it got up & stood there for a while before flying away. It seemed like it was stunned for a while but seemed alright. Hopefully it'll be okay!

Re Bye Bye Bird

Boss moved him to the bushes. He is a BEAUTIFUL bird - tiny with a yellow breast, but he was lying on his side and breathing very hard. I really hope he gets up and flies away.

Re Bye Bye Bird

Sounds about like the bird that flew into our window. It left yellow feathers on the window. I was so worried about it.

Re Bye Bye Bird

Please tell me that you flashed the sign to ward off the evil eye... that's a death omen!

Re Bye Bye Bird

Oh, no! I don't know the sign. What's the sign.

This happens off and on at my house. Sometimes they fly away and sometimes they don't. But I should really know the sign.

We'd use the mano cornuta... the horns. Think the hand gesture you'd see at an Ozzy concert.

Re Bye Bye Bird

I don't want to go look because I'll be sad if he's dead. I'm not exactly sure where the boss put him. I know he's by the hedge up front.

Re Bye Bye Bird

Boss just said that he's gone. As in flown away - not dead!

but then I heard CCW say "he's dead?" so boss might have been lying.
I'm going with the flew away theory.

Re Bye Bye Bird

The bird flew away and is living a wonderful life as a role model to other birds. He will have multiple speaking engagements telling other birds not to fly into those shiney hard things.

CCW's crazy, remember? She doesn't know what she's talking about.
