Some years ago I was living in a condo in Florida that had these huge plate glass windows going up 2 floors. Because they reflected the sky an occasional bird would fly into it and drop to the ground momentarily stunned. One day a cockatiel hit the glass and lay stunned on the ground. I took it inside and fed it waiting to see if it recovered ok. It stayed on my shoulder the whole time affectionately nuzzling me. After a couple of days I opened the window wide to see if it wanted to be free. The bird had no interest in returning outside and was obviously attached to people. A woman on my floor was interested in getting a bird so I gave it to her.

That was mean. I've owned birds, they stink, make a complete mess with their food, make sudden screeching sounds, poop every time you let them out of their cage and will bite the hell out of you for no reason other than for fun.

Flying rats, they remind me of Antifa people.

You haven’t seen a bird hit a window and shock in people’s faces until you see a pair of Canada geese hit a 6 story atrium window. I’m not sure if it’s the thunderous bang of the geese slamming into the glass or them flopping around on the patio below that brings the most shock. But regardless you’ll remember both for life.
