The body of small bird was found dead near a wall with windows, not sure if it collided the wall.

A juvenile chinese bulbul body was also found near a tree.
I hope they are not poisoned by the pesticide for mosquito control..... :-/

I thought this is a juvenile great tit at the beginning
but the pattern of the yellow plumage at the neck is quite different from great tit

Could it be something else?
???

Bird Collision with window. Quite common. May ask the HKUST estate office to put some stickers on the window.

If it's a bird collision with window, it's usually caused broken neck or wings. An autopsy might help to know the fact (by related department like AFCD)?
