Thanks for the concern. This bird is not ill or deceased. He was stunned after flying into a window. He recovered after about two hours and flew away. It was a joy to watch and care for him. We were cautious about washing our hand after handling him.

Depending upon where you are, that bird could be carrying West Nile Virus!
