It had been feeding with its mate in the planter before its accident, and before you knew it the mate flew up and started pulling at the wings of the one in the fence, flying about its mate nervously, wanting the other to "wake up". It was really touching to watch.
I knew that Rooks are known to comfort each other when one has been in a fight and lost. I've often observed this before where one of the two will seek comfort by the other and they will touch with their beaks and get really close together too.
The one who had flown into the window; it 'hung' in this position for almost 15 minutes.
Its mate flying worrying around the other and started pulling wings and the window-flyer started waking up at last.
Before you knew it, other Blue Tits arrived! And not just to feed; no they were well aware of what had happened here and they too started flying around the little window-flyer. (who was getting a bit nervous itself now too.) It was very sweet to see that this little bird got so much attention from the other three. What is even more strange is that I have only seen the other two Bblue Tits once since summer. And what made them come down here? Was it coincidence, did the other one call out, or did the other two sense that their friend was in trouble?
What was also strange today, was that I saw one Rook feed the other! Bit early for courting, isn't it?
