And OSP, before you throw up the goose decoy picture, we are talking about live animals, at least till you hit them.
One of the guys on the Triple Forum hit a turkey buzzard with his pick up. here's the pics

They always aim for the center of my face shield, you know, the types of smears that make you go crosseyed cuz they're right in that zone...i've hit some bugs big enough to snap my head back...but thankfully havent hit a bird or bat yet...
Back in the early 80s ( when I was stupid ) I was riding wearing a tank top. I was doing about 70 when I hit a wasp. Right in the nipple. To say that hurt would be an underestimate. I locked up front and back brakes so I could pull the stinger out.

That hurt for weeks. Even if I turned on my chest while I was sleeping, it would wake me up.
