This morning I heard a thump on our sliding glass door.  I looked out and saw 
a tiny twitching little mass of grey fluff, with a bright yellow stripe on 
the top of its head.  It was about 30 degrees, so I didn't expect the bird to 
live if its shock wasn't treated.  I grabbed the bird, cradled it to my 
chest, and held it loosely as I went to the basement to dig out the old 
budgie cage.
I treated the bird for shock by putting it into the cage and putting the cage 
near, but not in the draft from, a space heater and putting the cage on top 
of a heating pad.  Within the 15 minutes it took me to identify the bird (a 
golden crowned kinglet), it had gone from limp to hopping around the cage 
trying to escape.  Since I had just learned that the bird was an insectivore, 
not a seed eater, I decided to release it rather than let it injure itself.  
This bird was so small that it could get its head between the budgie bars!
I soaped down (three times), tossed my shirt into the washer, and went to 
feed my own birds.  I put plastic bags on my hands to try to eliminate 
chances of germing my birds.  
Was there anything else I should have done?  I am buying stickers for the 
glass door later today!
