    That is odd. I thought all the birds in Hamilton were fairly nondescript.

    And fat.

    My other half took a small bird fair in the chest at a reasonable speed - it quite literally exploded in a cloud of dust and feathers. Unhurt, she carried on, but was stricken almost immediately with a severe allergic reaction (she must have inhaled a bit of debris). She could barely see to pull over.

    Thirty minutes and a couple of antihistimines later, she was fine.

    Certainly a rather unusual bird-strike result.

    Aren't they bloody just!.

    I've had a couple of small birds fly into the front wheel. They just go POOF! and leave very little behind.
