Several years ago I was driving along one of our many scenic dirt roads
minding my own business when something suddenly came flying-literally-
through the drivers side window.  Fortunately traffic is scarce and slow
moving on these roads and I was going barely over 20 MPH.  Iwas aware of
something flopping around on the floor on the other side of the car.  I got
stopped and looked and there was a partridge on the floor of my car.  I
opened the door and out she got.  Didn't even thank me for the ride!!!!!

I was driving 90+ mph in the night alone through I think the Dakotas...
I had not seen anyone or anything significant for quite some time, I was
never quite sure where I was then as I had been awake and driving for
like 3 days already... and a pheasant flew up and hit the windshield of
the car at the point where the roof and glass met. It was not exactly a
case of bird poop... but it did turn the bird into quite a mess all over
the front of the car and it did get my attention.

Well, unless the bird had taken a pre-mortal dump, there was probably some
in there.  Even though it hit the car (instead of your person), I think you
win this one.  Unless somebody else was struck by a turkey or an albatross
or something.

Congratulations!  You are the avian accident king!
