A bird almost killed me, thank you window.

So last Sunday I’m sitting here doing what I always do, working. Woohoo money! I’m sitting in my normal seat, I have my co-worker Steven behind me. It’s about 10:25 am when all of a sudden there’s this loud thud against the window next to us. Startled I turn around and look up at the window.
A bird ends it's life
It seems a bird smashed into the window at quite a high speed. Steven mentioned that before the noise, he thought he saw a bird close to the window next to him from the corner of his eye. Based off that, had there not been a window or it was able to break through, this bird may have very well taken me out. We are on the lip of the windows here on the 3rd floor, birds frequently are sitting on the edge here staring at us as we do our tech support thing. I’m guessing this one wanted to chill, but didn’t time his landing too well. It’s also possible that it had a heart attack or other devastating thing happen, and it fell out of the sky, angled right to the window. But whatever, we’ll never know. If it could talk, it’s too late now… I went down to confirm that this indeed killed the bird. And I found this:
- Splatter bird
Yes it’s a sad sight. Looks like it hit the window with it’s feet, maybe pushing them into it’s abdomen then bled out in that split second before falling to the grass. I’m not about to do an autopsy on this SARS carrier. Still creeps me out that it happened so close to my head. A friend mentioned that it could be a sign, and death usually isn’t a good sign. I’ll have to watch my back for awhile. Anyway I felt this warrented a post. Hope you enjoyed the story and hopefully the pictures aren’t too graphic for ya.
