So I'm driving up the GSP @ 5AM this morning and all of a sudden I hear a loud thud like my car was just shot with a paintball gun or something. I glance to the left and see my side mirror pushed in and the glass hanging out. I had no idea what happened so I opened the window and grabbed the glass before it fell, then pushed the mirror back out. I pull my hand in and its covered in blood. I had no idea wtf happened so i freaked out and pulled over to get out and inspect. Turns out I hit a freakin bird! Feathers, blood and guts were all over the mirror. I noticed the glass just pops right back in with clips so I pop it in and take off. I get to my friends house and clean off the guts and its good as new. Not even a scratch. Very strange. Luckily I didnt have the window open or I would have gotten a blood bath...LOL. :p

wow, that's lucky that nothing happened to your ride.
That happened to my dad one time when an OWL hit his Mercedes E-300 at night on Avondale road.

Glad to hear nothing happened to ya or ya ride, man.

This reminds me of this one time my mom and I were driving on a two lane highway to the city. Well we were going about 55 mph and I was in the passenger seat. I had my hand just slightly out the window and BAM! Something hit me in the hand. It felt like a fuggin rock. Well I hear my mom start screaming and I look down at her feet and there was a bird laying down feet up about the size of a softball. There was blood everywhere. We pulled over and I got the bird out. Long story short, birds hurt like a mofo when they hit you at 55 mph.

One time I was vacuuming out my old Civic, so I had the passenger's door open. I went inside to get something, and when I came back out I saw a bird lying on my driver's seat. I thought it was a fake bird, but I touched it, and I was like, oh shit I just killed a bird! It flew in through the passenger side door, and slammed into the driver's side window.

Another time, I was driving to school, and I see a group of birds flying across the street. Birds 1, 2, and 3 make it, but bird 4 slams right into my radiator, and drops into my bumper. I had to pluck its little body out from behind the fender liner.

Poor birds... :'(

That's a shame. Did you take any pictures of the aftermath? I have a strange picture of what looks like a bird ghost after one flew into my living room window. I'd post it but i don't have anywhere to host it.
