Tuesday 24th August *********************** When I was in my sitting room I heard a loud noise. Then I looked from the window. I saw a Juvenile Greenfinch lying near the window with its wings spread out and sprawled on the ground along with another one nearby. I was shocked and didnt know what to do and felt really sad for the bird.. I opened the window and took it to my hand and it was not excited but was shivering and opened its mouth. The other bird then flew away. I think it was concussed after hitting the head and the beak on the window.. Then I thought that I will keep it for a little while till the bird was fully fit and was thinking how to look after it. Then with the bird in one hand I went to the garage to get the Hamster cage that belonged to our dear Hamster which passed away about 1 year ago.The cage was kept as a sovenier.. Till I kept the bird inside the cage it was quite calm in the palm of my hand. When I put him into the cage and was taking it inside the house, I saw that the young juvenile come again to the same place where the other bird fell. I was so surprised to see this and I know that he came to see his fellow bird.. Then I thought that I will keep the cage outside with natural surroundings. This bird was in my hand about an hour and in the first half an hour was able to shut her mouth completely. When it was a little bit fit I kept him in the cage and kept it outside. It was in the cage for about 5 hours and was alert to the other birds sounds. I was really happy to see that he had some seeds later on..Suddenly two Magpies visited my garden with louds calls and the little bird started running around in the cage with fear. A little while later I thought that he was fit enough to fly and before it got dark I released him.. I am surprised that he is alive after the impact he had with my window.. He flew away slowly after going under a bush..
