Since 1st April, 1 pigeon and 1 Seagull.

Pigeon with a tyre, no damage (except to the very burst and flattened pigeon).

Seagull with my CB aerial, no damage to the aerial (but the gull was well bolluxed).

Do I score extra for no damage to the Cab?

Do I get a 1/2 point for the pigeon that shed feathers at the front, rolled under the car (numerous bumbs to floorpan) and somehow survived? Not a sign of it anywhere. I even got my mechanic to put it on the ramp to see if it was lodged above the exhaust. :lol:

I'm not bothered about the likes of Rabbits, Pigeons, Pheasants and feral foxes but, I do try and avoid Hedgehogs, Badgers, Deers and Red Squirrels.

I'm partial to Pheasant if it's been hung for a few days. :D

Are you happy to have them flat, or do you like them Re-inflated?

Hitting the Partridge may cause little or no damage. I suggest Pear Trees, and Trees generally, are best avoided.

So basically you don't like running over indigenous species - but the foreign ones are fair game.
