Looking at these two images you now know why birds get hit by cars....silly Galahs!!!
I like the group of galahs near the drivers window in the first image.

| You notice how they always go the wrong way - the ones on the right will fly left and ones on the left fly right :-) It's these new quiet cars that sneak up on them - I hit more after my first new model car then all the old clunkers I owned ever did. |

Hehehe...they are pretty birds...but a damn nuisance. Out this way it is common to go through flocks of birds. Hubby drives over 100kms a day for work (on top of 12 hour shifts) and it's all on country roads. He says that he drives through flocks of galahs and they go everywhere...yet he rarely hits one...but then he often drives through flocks of cockatoos and he says it looks like its snowing with all the feathers of the ones he hits....and they crack your windscreen when you hit them. The same goes when he hits owls. They sit on the guideposts at night and take off when they see your lights and wham!! Sad...but a fact of life.
But with all of this been said these creatures don't do as much as damage put together as does one little echidna. If you run over them...(you can't see them half the time) then say goodbye to your tyres. And when you are in a 4wd that works out very expensive at over $200 a tyre.
