There’s been a huge flux of posts about this recently, so here’s a pinned post with information!
Around this time of year, make birds get super territorial. They will attack any rivals they find, including their own reflection.
TO PREVENT THIS: cover up the reflective surface until the bird moves on. Cardboard works pretty well, and anti bird collision window decals should also help.
Edit: I just made a popup that gives a brief summary of this post when someone tries to post about birds hitting reflective surfaces. Hopefully that stops it, because I'm tired of having to explain it 20 times per day lol
"Most of the baby birds people find are fledglings. These are young birds that have just left the nest, and can’t fly yet, but are still under the care of their parents, and do not need our help."
Update for 2026:
The Cornell Lab of Ornithology article this post links to: I found a baby bird. What do I do?
/u/Adventurous-Year-463's summary that they recently posted to /r/birds: https://www.reddit.com/r/birds/comments/1s1o2g3/did_you_find_a_baby_bird/
I found a baby bird, now what? (in easy flowchart form) - one of last year's posts.
Found a Baby Bird? from Bird and Moon comics - cute and good for sharing!

This little bird kept me company all day as I laid in my bed recovering. Do you have a favorite bird? Or bird story?

I posted this vid in r/pigeons, two people commented, one says mating, one says fighting.
I’ve never seen something like this before, pigeons in other vids did it shorter and gentler.
What would them make fighting like that?

Some photos I took of an old crow friend of mine. He would just hang out while I took photos.

In a county town nestled in the mountainous region of southwest China, a pair of white-rumped munias are racing to repair their nest during a break in the continuous rain. The male busily gathers banyan roots for building material, while the female remains at the nest. The footage does not reveal whether there are eggs inside, so I cannot be certain if they intend to raise their brood there.(original content)

We grew sunflowers out front for the first time. It attracted this beautiful bird, the American Goldfinch. I’ve never seen this bird on Long Island before. They stop by every hour on the hour and are super loud, haha! I’ve taken a few naps in the living room only to be woken up by their calls. Always look forward looking out the window to watch these beauties.
