Not all come off so well, some break their necks or beaks, depends how they strike. This one made a helluva thump and fell to the concrete of the terrasse.. I went out immediately and scooped him up. The dogs hadn't noticed but Jules, with his hunting genes would have shaken it to death. He dealt with a Blackbird like that some time ago, I stopped him but it was too late, the bird died in my hands a few seconds later. Maybe it would have died anyway. He is not interested in carrion though, so ignores anything dead.
Trouble with that is Steve, it would stop any of them coming to the bird bar, where I put the Robin, only a metre or so outside the window doors. That's why I clean only the bottom half, as it is there through which I watch from my chair, and the least likely collision point. This little chap hit the mucky, top, bit.basquesteve wrote: ↑Sun Oct 24, 2021 6:30 pm Try and get Bird of prey widow stickers like these https://www.amazon.co.uk/Bird-Scarer-St ... B01CK43VB8
It didn't for me either - I've fixed it so it should now Dave.
just a case then of picking up a takeaway . we have two three mtr patio doors opposite each other, we do have a few bird strikes, but only one or two fatal and that tends to be in the spring time with the young birds.
Anything to do with Wildlife in France, from insects to birds and moles.
