Upon advise from another member I contacted a wildlife rehabilitator
in our area who said she would treat any diseased Purple Finches that
I take to her.
I forgot to mention important members of our bird family, the
Cardinal, the Robin and the Tufted Titmouse. The Cardinals are indeed
like family to us, and one female Robin spent a good part of one day
trying to fly through 2 different windows of our house, apparently
suffering no ill affects. The lighting must have been such that the
reflection perfectly duplicated the outside view for her. The
Cardinals often do the same, but not as persistently as this one
Robin. It may also be that they are battling their own reflections.
