So I was on the phone with my mom and heard a kaplunk on my livingroom window that sounded weird. I went to check it out and found this bird. Can anyone help me identify it? Also is there anything I can do to help it? It seems ok but wont fly away.  DSCN2675.JPG   172.21K   30 downloads

Well she finally flew away, yay! Still would love to know what she is though, she is adorable!

This is a Tufted Titmouse. Really glad to hear that she flew off! If this happens in the future, I'd recommend putting the bird in a quiet, safe place (like a shoebox with a towel) for a while, then put the box outside and see if the bird flies off then. If that doesn't work, try contacting a local wildlife rehabilitation center. What you don't want to do is to hold the bird for very long, or pet it - this will stress the bird out and may kill it.

I picked it up with a glove on and then put her in a box with some brownish green patterned cloth and put a grate over it so she couldn't get loose in the house and left her there for about 20 mins. When I came back she looked more energetic and when I picked up the box she flew to the grate on top so I took her outside and lifted off the grate and put her in the grass and after a few seconds she flew off.
