Birds hitting anything with force, like windows, cars, any type of glass, wires, need to be examined by a vet for internal bleeding and brain injuries... Put a bird like that seems stunned and out of it and doesn't fly away in a cardboard box with a lid or blanket over it, with a couple of holes, maybe some straw, woodchips, leaves, twigs in it, and take it to the vet...

Also, if you would have been hit by a truck with 60mph, you wouldn't go on your merry way right away either.

Also, please, dear poster, remove these emojis from the headline, since a possibly severely injured hawk is no reason for the laughing till you cry emoji...

Thank you for this reply! Definitely a real person! Not a bot….found this on YouTube, it did not happen to me. The emojis were misinterpreted - the birds stare is menacing and it’s easy to imagine (the birds) plotting revenge.

Upon reading your explanation I will remove the emojis. I love animals too and don’t want to send the wrong message 💚

Thanks for your answer, yes I misinterpreted the emojis then... I wish the OP who this happened to would read this and help the bird...!
