Angry birds!

I took a large owl hit to the windshield of my Ranger many years ago. Got jammed under the wiper arm. Fortunately, the glass didn't crack.

Haha. Never been beaned on the helmet yet, but have had birds crash into my windshield when riding. Makes me flinch! I also had a bird attempt to fly through my front wheel. Lots of feathers!

Bee got me like that. Had a bird fly through my grill on a ‘61 Ford Falcon (fitting name). When I checked the radiator for damage, I could see the little outline of a bird, kind of like a cartoon.
