After spending one hour in a warm, dark, quiet room, this concussed Red bellied woodpecker takes first look out of its "rescue box."

After about 10 minutes, it hopped onto the box edge and flew to this nearby pine tree. Let's keep our fingers crossed for a full recovery.

Follow-up: 2 red-bellied woodpeckers hit my glass door.
One flew off; the other needed time: a warm, dark box, quiet, and patience.
From cardboard to pine bough, safe and free.
(I ordered more UV decals)

2 woodpeckers just hit my glass door.
One’s now recovering in a quiet, towel-lined box.

If a bird hits your window, stay calm:
🕊️ Move it to a dark, warm box
🤫 Keep quiet for 30–60 min
🌤️ Release once alert
📞 Call a rehabber if it can’t fly

Thirty million birds killed in the UK every year through strikes — with many more injured and unseen.

A country that calls itself a nation of bird lovers must do better than this.

5/7 If you spot a wild bird acting strangely—showing lack of coordination, inability to fly, or respiratory distress—contact a local wildlife rehabilitator. Avoid handling sick birds, but if necessary, wear gloves and a mask as a precaution.
