20 years ago I was driving on a 50mph road and there was this group of about 20 birds drinking water around a large puddle right on the side of the road.
Something spooked them just in the moment that I was driving by them. In that split second, they all swarmed right in front of my vehicle smashed into the side and front. As I looked back in the mirror through the feathers floating in the air, I could see at least six or seven birds injured on the road behind me. It made me sick to my stomach and I still have this image in my head years later haunting me.
I can't imagine someone would do that on purpose.
It wasn't your fault. You would have avoided it if you were able. Therefore it is not on your moral plate. Be at peace.
Thank you kind stranger.
