There’s A New Trend Where People Share Unusual Friends Visiting Their Windows, And We Can’t Get Enough
Some unexpected visitors at your window are more welcome than others. Pretty much all human beings are a creepy no. Maybe you have seen that menacing kangaroo creepily tapping the window with its huge claws? Hell no!
Birds, on the other hand are generally a beautiful sight to behold, waiting patiently at your window and looking inquisitively inside. Some people (known as ‘twitchers’), go to great lengths to get a sight of some of these birds, travelling around the world for just a glimpse. These lucky folks don’t even have to leave their couch!
We here at Bored Panda have compiled a list of times when birds and humans became buddies, and our feathered friends began to stop by for a visit. Scroll down below to check it out, and feel free to add your own ‘twitcher’ pics!

please stop feeding bread to parrots - they could get sick (diarrhea, vomit) and maybe die if they get too much of it. better are fruit or nuts.

I totally agree. It's wonderful to be lucky enough to interact with wildlife. Even better to feed them something healthy :)

In the late 80's, Melbourne, FL built a shiny new building wut lots of mirrored windows and steel. It was occupied top to bottom by lawyers. Within 6 months of it being built and occupied, a committee of vultures took up residence as proceeded to eat their meals ob the roof of the portico, scattering bits of bone, fur, innards, and blood everywhere. I would swear this is a picture taken from an office in that building...

My grandma lives on the 8th floor and always complains about pigeons roosting in the flowerpots on her balcony and destroying her plants - until one day she found a seagull messily disembowelling one of the pigeons on her balcony, at which point she realised that pigeons aren't really that bad after all...
sexy_scorpio_3MD 7 years ago
This same exact thing happened in my backyard on my patio a few years ago. I heard this awful screeching sound and went to go look and the hawk was sitting there with the pigeon he just attacked and killed on my patio. I had to use the hose to rinse off the blood when they left!

Isabel Care 7 years ago
My neighbours complained to the housing office that I was feeding the pigeons. "Of course she is. We give her the feed. She's the only person said yes to having a trap in the window box." One male pigeon had 4 females caught one after the other, not him. Baby pigeons have cute punk hairdos. The spikes were too skinny for our wide window sills. Pigeon security fences to keep nervous birds from falling off the edge. Had to put trellis inside my windows because if they were open, my flat was investigated by curious birds ( kept on the inner side of the sill by aforementioned spikes)

I Too Have A Feathered Friend, Who Often Came By My Office Window. Today Was The Last Time
Jenny Luttrell 7 years ago
But everyone gave the pilot a hard time about posting and this is ok? Smh.
diane a 7 years ago
I had this happen a cou[ple of times some years ago. 1st was a kestrel which dive-bombed the window a couple of times - intent on our (terrified) canary. It ended up stunned and confused sitting on the ground for a few minutes, then shook itself and flew off. Needless to say we kept the canary away from the window after that. The other occasion I came home to find an impression identical to that above on the same window - pigeon or dove?. The natural grease/oil on their feathers leaves a spookily perfect likeness. There was no sign of a dead or injured bird anywhere nearby, so luckily this sort of thing probably happens just as they are taking off and they don't hit the glass too hard.
Natasha Forchione 7 years ago
When I used to work in the 4th floor, we had a hawk that keep crashing into the window full force. We didnt know if he thought his reflection was another hawk or what he was doing, but he did it about three times before he flew away. I was shocked he didn't die or maybe he did??
