I'm a wildlife rehabilitator who specializes in raptors and I trained at
VINS. If the bird struck a window the damage is internal and there's not a
whole lot we can do. Either the bird recovers or it doesn't. You can
purchase special tape from Collidescape to apply to outside of your windows
to prevent bird strikes. Inability to move legs may also be a sign of avian
influenza.
