That reminds me of a Daytona 500 several years ago where a seagull got nailed and hung on the front fascia of the car for a bit. They were concerned that one of the wings was disrupting air flow.
Which in turn reminds me of the time Fabio was on hand for the inauguration of some new roller coaster somewhere. He got to ride it on it's first running, and got a bird right in the face. His face got bloodied up pretty good and he needed some stitches.
