Hitting the window is the surprise that the sky was "not there". Birds fly into windows because they see the reflection of the sky behind them and think that it is more sky.

"I was ... I was just flying around, you know ... and ... (sniff) ... no, it's OK, I'm alright, and there was a house with a big opening ... ... I thought I could fly in ... Oh God ... something hit me ... but there was nothing there ... nothing there ... nothing there " You have to imagine the bird breaking down as he tells the story (like a bad actor in a movie).

“I was … I was just flying around, you know … and … (sniff) … no, it’s OK, I’m alright, and there was a house with a big opening … … I thought I could fly in … Oh God … something hit me … but there was nothing there … nothing there … nothing there “

I doubt that's merely a coincidence. The bird’s name is Brad, as in Brad Bird, as in the Oscar-winning director of “The Incredibles”, among other things. I doubt that’s merely a coincidence.

Making birds sit in a chair that way just looks so wrong! I’d like to mention that not only are their beaks bent, but their legs are bent incorrectly, too.

Our house has many large windows and lots of trees around it. It is a common sound many times of the year to hear bang-bang-bang. It is very common when berries have gotten ripe and actually fermented and after the birds eat them they go a little crazy. I can hear some of those birds saying There was nothing there! Nothing there!". Poor little birds. I actually laughed out loud at this one. Our house has many large windows and lots of trees around it.
