Noisy Pittta are not uncommon in the eastern suburbs of Brisbane.

Creek.Thisis the firwst one I've heard of hitting a window.

It is certainly interesting the sort of birds that you discover are
periodically in your neighbourhood. My near-neighbour in the
southern suburbs of Brisbane, Rob Dougherty, had a Noisy Pitta toss
in its marbles on one of his windows last week. We live at the
base of a hill covered with dry sclerophyll which is normally good
for the odd Whipbird, Goshawk, Boobook, Frogmouth etc., but it's
hardly the sort of environment you'd expect to find a Pitta in and
there is no corridor linking it to the rainforest in Brisbane
Forest Park. Perhaps it was heading south towards the McPherson
Range ...
