    Were you distracted by her short skirt and long legs?

      As in feathered kind? - if so, I know how you feel I hit a pigeon on the motorway once and felt awful about it, til I saw the dent it had made

      What sort of bird was it was it small like a tit or larger like a crow?
      I'm sorry, but I'll make no apologies for this

        I don't think it could have been shaped like a small tit, as that is not a very aerodynamic shape, no wings etc.

          It wasn't the long legged type.

          But I think it was a bit of a tit.

          It clearly misjudged trying across the road.

          Perhaps natural selection will start to favour birds that can calculate the closing speed of car.

            Many years ago, I hit a bird whilst out driving in with my girlfriend. She was a bit upset about it because she said it's bad luck to kill a bird

            She was even more upset when we got home and found the dead bird lying in state on the top of the bumper...

              What was wrong with your brakes?

                Travelling up and down to London on a regular basis by train you would often see pheasants mashed into the front couplings of the trains on arrival.

                You have to drive a bit more carefully areound here in the spring as well due to the new bunnies hopping about who havnt figured out what roads and cars are yet.

                    I helped a bird whose bicycle was damaged yesterday; the mudguard had come loose and jammed the rear tyre as she was cycling across the town square and I was enjoying a sandwich. She was very blonde and nubile and rather pleased that a chap got up to help. It’s a much better way to win birds and influence ladies than running them over.
