What will the Wildlife Rehabilitator Do?
The wildlife rehabilitator may start with an X-ray to look for any breaks in the bird’s spine and wings. He or she may give the bird an intramuscular shot of an anti-inflammatory steroid, often mixed with some vitamin K to aid clotting in case of internal injuries. If the bird’s injuries are severe (i.e. broken back or shattered wing) the bird may be humanely euthanized. Otherwise, the bird will receive supportive care such as fluids, food, warmth, and steroid injections until it can fly away. document.getElementById(‘adsense_placeholder_2’).innerHTML = document.getElementById(‘adsense_ad_2_hidden’).innerHTML; How can Windowstrike be Prevented? At night, turn off the lights in your office building; it is not unheard of for an entire flock to knock themselves out of the sky when a well-lit skyscraper happens to be in the path of a night migration. At home, close your curtains or pull down your blinds. During the day, windowstrike can be prevented with decals on your window. WindowAlert
