On the way home from work today, a dumb bird decided that the piece of food on the ground was worth dying for. The PCH is HEAVILY trafficked at that time of the day so its not like the bird was going down to some empty stretch of road for a nice little snack. Birds are generally supposed to be somewhat intelligent but that might not apply to seagulls anyways. Enjoy the video of the bird swooping into it’s death. I have no idea how it did not break anything, including my zip tied front license plate. Still need to get a proper mount for it and I refuse to drill holes. But at least its still on there so I must have done a good job with the zip ties!

A smaller bird did the same not too long ago when I was
in the RX7. I heard it hit the bottom of the bumper then felt it bounce off the floorboard under my feet
. No getting up from that one!

Besides crows, birds are dumb as fuck.

That’s a big bird! I’ve killed a few small song birds but didn’t feel it at all.

Yeah that was why I was impressed nothing broke. I thought I hit it dead on my grill. That would have totally pulverized the plastic there. Somehow I got lucky and more so ran it over than hit it. I guess I just KO’d it with the bumper dead center. It came out the back very shredded.

I too have hit a bird with a Miata. The fucker was flying low & slow and I was driving along in a 45 zone. I looked down at the speedo for a millisecond when I heard a big thump - it bounced off the hood, hit the windshield & bounced off, and landed on the ground behind me in a giant explosion of feathers.

Bird brain is a real thing. They typically aren’t that bright (except crows).
I was rolling along at 2mph once in a parking lot and a pidgeon walked right under the rental malibu. About halfway under the car, he tried to fly. For about 30 seconds, all you could hear was flapping and whapping underneath the car. Idiot. lol

Keep the skull as a hood ornament, a warning to the next dumb bird.
