i was just driving down one of the country lanes by my house and i hear this huge BANG! so i pulled over and walked back to where it happened,
i found a dead pheasant.

it had ran/flown straight into the side of my mini! and then got splatted by the car behind me

thankfully my car is ok

it didnt half make me jump though!

I got a badger once (may have been a moggy, but it was dark, I was going quick, and it was already fairly flat) Made a good, solid thud, and left white hairs stuck on the exhaust clamps and in the waxoyl for over a year.

Dad emailed me saying "just took your mini out, took it up to 7000rpm, goes like stink! but alot of smokes coming out the exhaust... just joking, its in the garage where u left it"

My mates dad hit a pheasent in scotland and most of it went through the grille and got cooked on the radiator!

Apparently it smelt quite nice for a while until it started to burn lol

Thing with pheasants is - they're STOOPID! They run into the road without looking. Stop in the middle of your lane and look right at you dodging to the right. Run to your right. Stop and look at you changing direction to miss them. Run to your left. Stop again and see you returning to your original collision avoidance course. Run back to your right. SPLAT!

I've got quite a few over the years as well as squirrels and rabbits that just happen to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. Pheasants seem to go all out to get hit, though!

They truly are the most stupid animals on the planet. The same happened to my Mitsubishi the other day, one dived into the side of the car. Looked like it had gone underneath, then jumped straight upwards next to my GF who was driving at the time. Smashed the mirror glass and then flapped off into a bush to die.
