I was leaving work today, where I work in a very tall glass building. I live near Tampa, FL to give you an idea about the bird. I guess this bird hit the building thinking it was flying into the sky, since the windows are mirrored. It was flopping around disoriented on the ground, so I decided to take it home where I have given it bird seed and a dish of water. It hasn't touched either of them. It's been sleeping the whole time. A couple minutes ago I took it out of the small aquarium where i'm attempting to rehabilitate it in and it flew a few feet to a bookshelf, where it proceeded to land then go back to sleep. It sounds like it's having problems breathing. When I place my ear close to it I can hear popping and wheezing as it inhales and exhales. Can anyone identify it for me and give me any tips as to what to do? Thanks in advance!
