Hi guys, yes I'm back, been so busy, and lazy.
That same thing has actually happened at my parents house when we were all there. It was a wattle bird and it left the perfect imprint on the glass. the bird fell and was stunned for a few minutes so we rested it in a box until it was fine to fly away. It's happened a few times at my parents. They have huge glass windows at either end of their house and birds for some reason think they can take a short cut instead of going around. We've also seen a kookaburra do it, well not really seen it but we saw the imprint and then saw it fly away looking rather giddy. We all just say "not again" and go to see the damage.

P.S. Bruce I still love all my elephant pic's you send me.

You're always thinking of me.

Yeah, well, I have to get those elephants out of my hard drive 'cause they're too heavy for the disc.

Nice to hear from you again.

LJ, look at the pigeon in post 14... the beak doesn't hook like (a), it's more like a shorter version of (b).

When I was a youth, we had a Pheasant come through a picture window, and still made it 15 feet across the room, hit the wall, and die on the back of the couch. Must have been really honkin', when it hit.

Now I understand why folks shoot them.

Maybe it was fleeing the mallard?

Clodfobble · 11-10-2008, 10:55 AM

I hear the birds smack against our upper windows on a pretty regular basis, but we have a lot of trees so they never have much speed behind them.

skysidhe · 11-10-2008, 11:47 AM

How did it make such a perfect imprint?

Undertoad · 11-10-2008, 11:52 AM

It knew it was gonna be eaten as an IotD, so it pre-dusted itself with flour.

many birds have powder-down feathers -- a type of waterproofing -- including pigeons.

whitjohn · 11-17-2008, 03:23 AM

This afternoon when I came home, I saw a print of one of my three budgies in the dust on the TV screen. Immediately, I thought of the pigeon print I had seen on ITOD and got my camera and took a photo of the very detailed print. There are three budgies that share my home in China and they fly free all day in the house. The usual skeptics and "photoshopper" fans can say what they like but this is for sure a real print left when one of the birds flew into the TV (it was off at the time). All three birds are normal this afternoon so whichever one hit the TV was not hurt.

barefoot serpent · 11-17-2008, 10:05 AM

it looks kinda like a cat face.

and dude, you need to dust more often.

Don't you have a problem with bird poop being everywhere?

Now that's more like it. I've seen prints like this before. But prints with eyeballs?
