Window casualties

I believe that Stephen Forster is correct in saying that it is the more unusual birds that hit windows and I also believe that it is because these bird casualties are on unfamiliar ground, in other words visitors. This was illustrated to us by a robin that hit the window, it was placed in a warm box to recover. When it was released it was immediately attacked by the resident robin as an intruder. I also believe that these birds on unfamiliar ground are the birds most likely to be taken by predators.
