Faster Than a Speeding Pigeon??

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)

Re: Faster Than a Speeding Pigeon??

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.

A tired warrior of the 1980s in a world of low profile tires, front wheel drive, and plastic bumpers, where people stay in their houses until snowplows move the offending substance from their paths, too helpless to travel without AAA and chains and salt, clearing their windows with longhandled brushes while gently stepping around in the snow trying to stay nice and dry.

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............

Unhappy Re: Faster Than a Speeding Pigeon??

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.
