Last Friday our Project Safe Flight volunteers found hundreds of dead and injured birds that had collided with NYC buildings. Our Senior Conservation Biologist Kaitlyn Parkins surveyed the Time Warner Building at Columbus Circle that day and discovered almost 30 dead birds and 8 injured birds there. Luckily those 8 birds were only stunned, meaning they were "knocked out" and just needed a safe place to rest before gathering their wits and flying off again.
If you find a stunned bird, it is important to get it off the ground so that it is not stepped on by passersby on the sidewalk, picked up by a dog or cat, or swept up by building cleaning staff before it recovers. In this video taken at Hallett Sanctuary in Central Park, Kaitlyn explains how she handled these stunned birds and gives guidance on when it is safe to release them back into the wild.
