:: Rat-tat-tat on the window

Date: 2009-12-24

Our front room's window has a reflective coating that helps keep the heat down (just a bit). Unfortunately birds like to fly in to it at full speed as it looks like sky to them.

One such bird was this, which Lui identified as a juvenile Black Faced Cuckoo Shrike. It seemed dazed and couldn't or wouldn't fly. We kept it in a shoebox overnight to see if it just needed some time. The next morning we let it out, but not all parts of it seemed to be working, and it only just made it over our fence before crash landing in next door's garden. Another night in the box and it was able to fly in a low curve around our house and out of sight. No idea if it made it to safety.
