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.
Kinda makes my bumble bee to the chest at 75 mph seem pretty mundane. It did leave a nice bruise though.
