Strange bird

i had the weirdest experience in morning driving history ever.
i'm coming back from the city after dropping my brother... and so i'm going to stop at the traffic light in front of the barrack st jetty tower thing- Red traffic light.
As i'm slowing down, (very slow) these 2 birds- Sparrows? really small birds fly really low, the first one swoops over and misses my car by inches. and the second one lands with a light thud, on the smallish gap below my windshield wipers. (if u look at my car, u'll see that small gap).

Well, the second bird was sitting there very nicely... but i didn't see it cos i needed to lean over quite abit. So i thought it wasn't there... for a second i thought i hit it and it rolled onto the floor or smthg.... in my head i was like...???! very puzzled. why on earth wld the bird purposely fly in front of my car?? plus i was going really slowly, so i cldn't have hit it hard enough to kill it.

Anyway, a couple of seconds later, b4 the light turns green... the bird sits up and i see its head.
wahhh, i was so relieved it didn't die or smthg, den again the thud was so light it was impossible for it to die. so, it looked up- ruffled its feathers and when i moved the car at the lights, it flew off. sigh..... gave me a heart attack to the max.

i thought i killed a bird on the 1st of november.

verse of the day:
"Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?"
Matt 6:26

haha...
I think you just merely knocked the bird out cold for the one minute of the red light.
