Driving home last night, a group of annoying Indian Minors flew across in front of me. It looked like I was going to hit one, but there was no noise and on plume of feathers shooting out behing me.

When I pulled into the garage and got out, there was a flapping and chriping noise comming from the car as I shut the door. I grabbed a toruch, popped the bonet and found a bird sitting under the intercooler pipes, perfectly alright. The little bugger had been sucked into air dam and was hanging out on the front cross member.

I thought I was going to have to start ripping stuff out to get to it (didn't care about the bird, just didn't want the car to start stinking of dead animal). The thing ran into the wheel well when I stuck a broom handle in, so I gave the inside of the wheel well a tap and the thing flew back out of the air dam. Now I know why some XRs have grilles there, they're bird stoppers.

Bloody Birds they are pests when it comes to cars they fly into them when your driving or s#!t on them when u have just washed it.

I have taken out a magpie it hit my driver's side fog light and knocked it back out of place and I have had 2 other birds at driffant times, that hit the window and bounce up into my ladders, 1 of them bounce off and ended on the side of the road the second 1 bounced back off the ladder to end up on top of the wiper bleeding over the wind screen one of the cats got a good feed from that bird cause it happened about 200m form home I just pulled the bird off a threw it in the garden for the cats

Funny but true...

I was riding my motorised pushy at about 40kms in Bendigo, and was coming up to 2 Galahs in the middle of the bike path. Lo and behold the bastards took flight only 5 metres before I got there, and one stupid c*nt flew straight at me. I ducked my head and we had a head on. My helmet had it's plastic visor smashed and the bird hit the ground flapping it's wings like an epeleptic kid! :spoton:

I stopped and went to check on it, and as I approached it took flight. Stupid fcucking birds!

Once hit two fighting Magpies that rolled straight out onto the road in front of me, I had nowhere to go and a car up my butt so there was no stopping....Not real interesting or amusing in itself but driving past the nextday some "righteous" soul had lined the two of em up side by side under a tree like they were lying in a morgue or something... :tease: ....and that's where they stayed for the next week.... :spoton:
