This is nothing I’m proud as I’m very fond of birds, but lately I keep running into birds when driving. Maybe they’re suicidal (they have pretty high cognition so wouldn’t be surprised)?. That or they just don’t fly out of the way in time? I’ve had one hit my windscreen, the front bumper…boy am I glad I got PPF installed.

Has this been happening to anyone else recently. It’s starting to feel like the beginning of a really bad horror movie…like a curse has set in.

Decades ago (in the days of brick/bag phones), my ex called me in tears to tell me she'd just hit and killed a duck with her car. After about 5 mins, I talked her off the ledge and calmed her down. After she had regained her composure, I added in, "You know they mate for life, right?" and the water works started all over...

last year I was outside installing a dash cam in my truck, and i hear a thud and this Indian guy that lives on the next block had ran over a cat that had ran across the road as he was driving. He was distraught and i helped him box it up and we went on our way.

a few weeks later i was leaving my house to go walk in the park and he was coming up the street. As i raised my hand to wave, a squirrel ran across the road and he ran it over lol.

We were supposed to have a deal with them. They get out of our way and we overlook them crapping on our cars and statues.

Very sad. I love kitties of all shapes and sizes, but I refuse to let mine out because she is also a threat to the bird population.

I was driving to work back in the 90's in my '91 S-10 Blazer, under the Pontchartrain Expressway train overpass, a pigeon decided to suicide himself on the rear window spoiler. It looked like that Randy Johnson gif...Like someone took a pillow and shook out all the feathers.

When I was 5 years old my dad ran over a dog while we were house hunting. The owner/lady came out and my dad expressed his apologies. Well, the dog wasn't dead but pretty smushed. The lady went and got a shovel and asked dad to kill it, which he did. Then she asked him to bury it in the backyard, which he did.

Upon leaving, he looked at the lady and said, "Well, I ran over, killed, and buried your dog, anything else I can do for you?" She laughed through her tears and say, "No, you've done quite enough." We ended up moving to a house 5 houses down from her.

Were you motoring about on the M5 mate?

Birds in your neck of the woods can be tits.

Or birds in your neck of the woods can have tits.

Isn’t it ironic, dontcha think?

Birds are assholes. I like our native birds, but I fricking hate starlings and sparrows who are the ugliest birds by a longshot and they’re just flying rodents. They add nothing and they tear shite up.

An owl flew into my side mirror last year. Hit my first bird ever a few days ago going the speed limit down my road(excluding the owl). Instead of flying up or away, he just basically jumped into my windshield. Now they got me hard braking. Weird thread.

Funny you made this thread. I'm pretty sure I hit 2 yesterday and I was going under 35 mph. One was just on the road eating something and I kept thinking for sure it would fly away before I got there but it didn't. The other one flew right into my tire.. Something weird is definitely going on.
