When driving, have you ever hit a bird?

[Cawchy87]

I always slow down for birds on the street and they always seem to fly away at the very last second.

Anyone actually hit one (without trying)?

 

[jagec]

Yes, several.

Oh, WITHOUT trying...in that case none

 

[blodhi74]

funny that you mention it.... a few days ago I saw a couple of birds on the road and thought that they will fly away as they normally do. Well, one did and the other was crushed by my car. I later figured that it was a parent and baby that could not fly. I felt bad

Edit

A bird hit the windshield of my wifes cars. Scaring the crap out of her and my kid.

Technically I wasn't driving, it was a 3 iron on the approach, but

yeah, I nailed that sucker.!!!!!

Yep, I was riding with my dad and a SEAGULL bumped my dad's car. I looked back and saw no results. I just wanted to see how seagull react to hitting my dad's car.

Also, I was riding in a public bus one day and a crow hit some car in front of us. When the crow hit the car, it spinned backwards and hit the ground hard. It didn't move so I assumed the crow was dead.

I know I shouldn't laugh... but I did.

I don't think I have -- my dad has hit one, and I saw a full-size truck hit a buzzard at about 60mph..feathers went everywhere, and the bird went maybe 20ft up (hit the windshield of the truck). It came down not too far from my car..

 

[Amused]

A few.

He was just resting; crows do that a lot.


Sometimes they are pining.

the baby bird or the bird on the windshield??

 

[Furyline]

I almost hit an owl once. That scared the crap out of me. Flew right in front of the car.

 

[FoBoT]

turkey and an owl, although the turkey hit me (flew into the side of the car)

 

[ndn mbc]

Hit a bird going 50 mph. Got stuck in my grill!!!

 

[Actaeon]

My brother hit a duck with his Trans Am. The duck flew into the passenger side mirror, and knocked it inside the car. Dunno about the duck.

Windshield of course. I have a heart too.

 

[CombatChuk]

Hit one driving my Dad's Wrangler.

That windshield is like a fvcking flyswatter

 

[TWills]

I hit a butterfly, does that count?

 

[MustangSVT]

invest in a BB gun :evil:

 

[SWScorch]

Yep, all the time. One ran into my friend's wheel-well as we were driving down the road a few days ago. Several years ago a turkey dive-bombed my car and hit the A-pillar.

 

[Fullmetal Chocobo]

For the first few months after I got my truck, it was a bird killing machine. I went to my now wife's house, and there was a bird in the grill. She made me bury it...
Tas.

 

[lokiju]

I hit a bat before, when used to live up in the mountains of North GA, it got guts on my car!


Also I was with my friend when he hit a ground owl, which are protected where I lived at the time.

 

[quakefiend420]

several years ago, i was driving my mom's car to work...going about 90mph, since i was late, and creamed one with the windshield...it made a rather large shit. splatter across part of the windshield, but didnt crack it or anything...took me by surprise, that's for sure
