Introducing the real life angry bird?😂
This is a blue-throated barbet. Bright green, ridiculously pretty, and usually heard before you ever spot it! They are common residents in forested areas around Islamabad. They mostly feed on fruits and hang out in trees, nesting in little cavities they make in trunks. Unfortunately he flew straight into a large window and was knocked out for a bit
Window collisions are a huge, very overlooked issue for birds. Reflections make them think they’re flying into open sky or trees, and they don’t realize it’s glass until it’s too late. Its always a good idea to add some stickers to your windows!
He needed a quick check after the impact, and yes, handled with certification and training before anyone comes for me in the comments lol
He was a bit stunned, but after a short recovery, flew off just fine. Angry till the very end 😂🤘🏼
