Comment on A story in one photo

Jesus, it must have been a severe hit if the bird shit itself. This being on the side of a building and not a window is really curious, though! Usually you only see this on reflective surfaces that the bird thinks is open sky. I wonder if a predator was chasing it, for it to collide so strongly with the wall.
Dude there was a chipmunk stuck in my enclosed chicken run the other day (door was open)…and I put down a broody hen just outside.
They both kept on running into the hardware cloth walls.
But holy shit was that girl proud of herself when she chased away the “threat”.
please tell me what u see, i cant even tell which way is up or down
The white area at the very bottom of the photo is the windowsill I think, it’s taken from inside looking out at the bird strike.
I also didn’t see the window for the wall, guess I’d crash into it too XD
I heard it once somewhere (so it could be total bullshit), but the birds , who fly into windows, are drunk from overripe berries.
Ergo, don’t forget to put up a poster about drunk driving awareness
It’s not bullshit. When I lived in Edmonton, we had a mountain ash tree in our front yard, as did many others along our street. In the winter, the birds would hop from tree to tree, eating the fermented berries, getting more and more blitzed with each bar tree they visited.

The bird could have been on a bombing run already.
