Faster Than a Speeding Pigeon?? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hope not to offend any bird lovers......

I got to my truck today and noticed this.. ( I really fly down the highway..hehe)

Don't know if he clipped me, or I clipped him.. so long poor chap.

We have a heavy pigeon population flocking in my neighborhood, kinda weird.. but can't tell if he flew in there and got stuck, or I clipped him going down the road... but it's the strangest thing.

(This'll prolly get moved, but don't know where else to post it)

dang. unreal.

Just remember, road kill is best with carrots and 'tators in the pot.

The amount of dead bird carcus's we clean out of cars would amaze you. Nothing like getting the bumper cover off a car and having a surprise laying there. At least they're usually nice and stiff and well beyond the stinking phase.
Then there are the deer legs we get every now and then... Which speaking of, it is almost deer season in the automotive repair industry world.

The old bird may have had a little to much to drink to be trying to fly home. Same thing happened to my ex-wife............

I hit a blackbird in mine en route to do some catfishing at a paylake, had been fishing for a couple hrs with out a bite and the guy beside me noticed the bird in my grill. He asked me if he could have it I said sure he cut the breast meat off of it put on a hook and 5 minutes later pulled in a 35lb $350 dollar tag fish. I politely loaded up my gear and went home.
