There will be times I’m on normal roads or even driving fast on a highway and have had very close encounters with birds flying aross the front of my car.
I never see dead birds on the road so I just assume they have some kind of special airflow mechanism that allowed them to avoid accidents.

It’s also tend to have a better chance of riding the bow wave over the car, especially if they’re in flight already.

It’s a speed thing. Once you start going over 130kmh you start hitting a lot more birds. Just my experience from travelling around the province for work.

Their bones are hollow and they are extremely lightweight. Smaller birds are more or less obliterated when they are hit by a car. There’s nothing left to see but feathers.
I’ve only hit a few birds in decades of driving but each time was the same: a poof and then I look behind me and there’s nothing to see. Maybe a bit of “dust” on the car where the impact was.
All cars dead stopped in traffic once. This bird careened into a windshield so hard it bounced off into another car. Dead as fuck after that.

I’m not gonna lie to you mate, the pigeons where I live have the shittiest reaction times. It’s my mercy that I haven’t ran them over.

They have an advanced detection system. Sort of like an automatic brake system you see on newer vehicles. See r/birdsarentreal
