dead bird - 03:29 PM
(filed under 'animal')
a bird just flew into our back window, or maybe the glass doors, & broke his neck. he was still alive for a minute or so & when smiley & i held him on our laps he started to move his head around, so i thought maybe he was okay after all.
.. but then his body jerked a few times & he closed his eyes & was gone. smiley didn't seem to be too bothered at all, but i'm a bit sad that he died. with hardly any back yard to speak of & no tools to dig a hole anyway, i wrapped him in newspaper & put him in a box before placing him gently in the bin outside.
r.i.p, little birdie.

I have not seen a bird actually die from hitting a window before. Usually, the bird would put a permanent crick in it's neck and only be able to hop on one leg afterwards.
I wanted nothing to do with putting a bird out of its misery. I would let the cats out to take care of it. But, the cats totally ignored the wounded bird since they did not hunt to kill.
But, when I would go outside again the bird would be no where in sight because some other cat took care of it.
