This happens from time to time. I am unsure of the best thing to do.
I hate handling the bird as it must increase their stress immeasurably.
Today a warbler was stunned after impacting a window. Rather than leave it exposed to cold (3 degrees C) and predatory birds, I placed it in a box and brought it into the warmth, placing the box in a quiet, dark location. After a time I will release it. It has worked in the past.
Is there anything better I could do?
An additional question. If it ever comes to that, is there a humane way of euthanizing a helpless bird?
Thanks . . .
