Looks like a pigeon but like Machelvanius said... could be that
It could have hit a glass or some reflective surface while flying. Birds tend to do that and they can get knock out (sort of ) or disoriented

I think it's a European Starling
Canada... And the beak is black and long... So probably not a pigeon either.

I couldn't tell you what kind of bird it is, I've helped a few injured birds before (Many of them were injured by my Cat, that little snake kills everything!), But none of them looked like that bird there, It seems like a relatively large bird anyways!
Maybe you could just look up "species of birds in Canada" on wikipedia, and examine the pictures to find a similar looking bird (It takes time, but if you need/want to know what species of bird it is, It could help!)
But im glad to hear its in good health!

Does not really look like a Starling, juvenile something just fledgling by the look of it. A close up of the beak should help.
Judging by the nut covers on the metalwork it does not look very big.

I think i know what it is now.
Wood Pigeon Juvenile / Adult Hen
Mom said an adult male came and they were pecking furiously with one another... soooooooo yeah
Lets hope no nest appears. Gonna read up on it: http://www.pigeonrescue.co.uk/thewoodpigeon.htm
PS: Apparently pigeon poop makes for a great fertilizer!

Pigeon tastes rather bland when wild and cooked over the fire. It's quite the experience.
