It seems that birds have a hard time with our windows. In the past 2 months, we have had 3 birds fly into our windows. We have huge picture windows that look out onto our backyard. We have had one quail fly into it and die as a result. You can hear the big thud when they hit. We had a sparrow fly into it yesterday. First the thud, then you peek out the window and there is the bird twitching. It makes me feel so bad. A different bird has flown and hit Joseph's window and it to has died.
Yesterday, after we heard the thud, we saw the little bird. Joseph went to tell daddy what happened. Here is his explanation, "It hit the window and had its eyes open, then they closed and they won't open anymore." He was so sad. He then said we will never see that bird again. I explained that it went to live with Heavenly Father and that it would be alive there. Later he went to check on the bird and there were ants on it (it grosses me out and I don't want to pick up the dead bird to throw it away...shudder). He said, "Mommy, the ants are trying to tickle the bird and make it alive again." Yeah...that is what was happening. Then he said, "Silly ants, you can't tickle it back alive."
We don't understand why birds seem to have a problem with our windows. Score to date (this season), Birds: 0, Windows: 3.
