Yep, once ran over a pidgeon in the road at low speed as I thought it was clever enough to fly away.

Nope, slow crunching and a small bump.

Mrs was in tears for ages lol.

When I went to pick up PunyXpress' bike I hit 2 pidgeons on the way back, one of them smacked into the windscreen and made the rear view mirror of the mighty vito fall off, the other one left most of itself spattered over the roof. Went with a right bang!

A bird decided to splat my van windscreen at 60mph and pu 2 big spiders webs in it. Shame it didn't write the combo van off.

I hit a pigeon in the transit a few weeks ago, the bugger knocked the glass out of the wing mirror! left a huge cloud of feathers behind me though

Hope the car was alright!


LOL....although this has turned into the "bring out your dead birds" thread.
Should be be a photo of one half alive soon screaming "Im not dead yet".
