Almost everyone wish they could fly, especially nowadays with the hike in the petrol price. However, do you know that flying birds and sports don’t mix? Here’s a compilation of birds accidentally killed and captured on video during competitive sports.

Bird lovers will want to look away now.

Baseball

In 2001, Randy Johnson’s throw caught a bird flying directly in the path of the fastball. What happens left is an explosion of feathers. You’d think a fast ball couldn’t kill, but it did. The bird was doing a fastball too. (news link)

IndyCar Racing

According to the youtube description, the driver of this car was Scott Dixon. I didn’t manage to find out when this happened. Anyway, even with the loud engine sound, the birds didn’t get off from the tracks. Dumb bird.

Tennis Match

This accident involved a small bird - knocked out in micro-seconds. Eventhough it wasn’t caught during a serve, it was still too hard for the birdie.

3 more videos after the jump.

The following accidents happened not during competitive sports.

Test Drive

The bird broke the windshield.

I think even for humans, we should stay away from beginner golfers!

This is non-sport, but still a little bit… emm I want to say fascinating but not sure if it’s the correct word. Anyway, this is during a rocket launch. The bird got fried at the end.
