I hit a bird or it hit me in the helmet visor a few years ago while dirt biking in baja. My son thought it was one of the funniest things that he ever saw.

Saw a white crane commit suicide on the freeway near home a couple years ago. He flew up from the side of the road right in front of a semi moving about 50 mph. All I saw was feathers flying all over the freeway. Strange animals.

We were supposed to have a deal with the birds! They broke the deal man!!!

if you see buzzards on the shoulder slow down they will fly right up into you.
