A similar situation happened to Romeo Dallaire when he was writing his first book. Shake Hands With The Devil. Horribly sad. Thankfully he got it finished. Hope you do, too. So sorry for your loss.

β€’ Immediately secure the bird in a dark box or clean paper bag.
β€’ Place in a safe, quiet area away from pets and out of direct sun.

STEP 2 - TREAT GLASS EFFECTIVELY

Honestly it hurts my heart to think another animal lover would ever consider this amusing. It’s truly not. By not marking your glass, you are causing harm. Thanks for keeping kitties inside! That’s awesome but your glass requires treatment. Thank you!

Markings need to be on exterior and no more than 2” apart. Or 4” if using Acopian BirdSavers.
