F55/F56 Bird Killer
#2
My text was deleted and I can't add it back to the original post... I started to say my car has killed 3 birds since I bought it in July. The first while test driving, two pigeons on the road, one flies away and the other disappears. When we get back to the dealer I notice feathers in the brake cooling intake under the bumper. I reach in and pull out the pigeon who just flies away. The next two weren't so lucky. I found a dead one in there while washing my car and just today once again I see a bird on the road and it disappears. I get home and sure enough there he is in the intake, unfortunately not alive either. Any one else have this "problem"? LOL

Nailed a buzzard that was a little slow getting up off some road kill. Hit right between the push bars on the front of my Suburban and broke a driving light. I gotta tell you, that was one pissed off bird when he picked himself up and flew away. Just glad I wasn’t driving the R56 I had at the time.

Had to drop in to see what excitement Vet could include when a bird related incident came to mind. Not car related but on the golf course, a playing partner hit his drive off the tee box just as a bird flew out of a bush. The ball and bird came together. The bird lost hugely. About all we found were a few bits and lots of feathers.

IMO the funniest movie of all time had a brief discussion of birds. (I am veering off topic, but it's funny)

btw - I've hit a Raccoon, never a bird. Home windows do take a fair share of bird killings.

Looks like a MINI has engineered an efficient bird vacuum. I'll bet they weren't even trying
I've hit birds twice - a buzzard took off and hit my windshield square in the center but no damage; I didn't spot it in the mirrors (agreed: they have low climb out rate).
And a dove I'm guessing didn't actually touch the windshield just the slipstream. There was a nice big puff of feathers though.

Used to be a time when you fell off your bike you got up and kept going. Scabs were like battle ribbons, each one told a tale. Now if one shows up everybody else is supposed to make it go away. I've been on this forum for quite a while and didn't remember seeing a thread titled safe space.

BTW, I've also got a deer to my credit except the deer hit me amidships.

Absolutely. Alas, I also have inadvertent road kills to my credit. I appreciate your taking the time to respond.
