I've been hit by two small birds and a near miss with a seagull.
One bird hit me in the helmet and really knocked my head sideways. I was at highway speed and it was a hard impact from such a small bird.
The other one flew into me and hit me in the thigh - again at highway speed. Man, did that hurt!
I was cruising along the coast at a good clip and came upon a bunch of seagulls by the side of the road. They all took off away from the road, but suddenly one flew right in front of me and I was approaching it very quickly. In a few seconds we had closed to within a few feet when I hit the brakes and let it fly away.
I had a very good view of the tail end of a seagull
