Birds are actually tougher than they look, especially when you hit them at speed. I was coming down the North Cascades Highway on the Harley one day and caught a crow in the right knee/shin at about 70-75 mph. He was trying to pry up that last nibble of dried out road kill and miss-judged my speed. Take it from me; that smarts. My entire lower leg turned pretty colors and my ankle swelled up to twice its normal size.
