This is the moment a stunned Chinese family finds a dead grouse on the floor and a huge hole in the window after the bird apparently crashed through the glass.

The incident took place in the northernmost and easternmost Chinese province of Heilongjiang while Ms Liu and her family were watching TV in the living room.

Ms Liu said they heard a loud bang followed by the sound of smashing glass and the family ran to the bedroom to investigate.

The family was stunned to see the large grouse on the floor and a huge hole in the window.

Ms Liu said the bird died on the spot.

In the footage filmed by Ms Liu, family members are seen investigating the loud noise and discovering a dead bird on the floor surrounded by shards of broken glass.

Meanwhile, the camerawoman pans to the window to show the large hole in the shattered pane as a little cat eyes up the dead bird.

The second video shows Ms Liu filming the smashed window and broken shards on the sill before panning on the dead bird on the floor.

In the third clip, Ms Liu films the wintry scene outside the room while the family is apparently in the process of removing the broken window to replace it.
