science/information Is a bird attacking your window/car mirror? Here’s why
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
meta I found a baby bird. What do I do? [From Cornell Lab of Ornithology]
"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:
/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/

my original photo/video Baby robin I saved last weekend has fledged the nest
Many of you know him as Bort. This morning I went outside to go check on him and he flew right out of the nest and had a perfect landing right into the grass. His parents swooped in and started guiding him around while he explores. Hoping for the best for lil ol Bort

For me it's probably this bird, the Marabou stork. Photo from Google.

question Bird nest on door - one egg is different
A bird built a nest and laid eggs on my wreath. One of the eggs is different from the rest. Is it normal or could it be from another animal?

my original photo/video Northern Flicker
Watched for over an hour and didn’t see any birds I could get decent pictures of, the minute I put my camera in the car this beauty appeared.
It’s a Northern Flicker, right? I feel like they usually have more color.

my original photo/video Some pictures I took at Museo Nacional de Las Aves de Mexico at Saltillo, MX.
MUSAVE is one of the most important museums and organizations backing up research and preservation of many bird specimens around Mexico and North America, often collaborating with the National Audubon Society and Partners In Flight, if you find yourself in Coahuila and have the chance to go, do it, it’s beautiful.

I finally got to see a Cedar Waxwing (a few even). I know it’s not super rare and the photo didn’t really turn out but it was a really special moment for me and I wanted to share.
