u/someambulance

I drive quite a bit, 2k a month, mostly rural highway.

Was driving along, and a small bird hit the grill up high, pretty hard. Stopped to check it out and found another one in the mouth on the skid plate.

So, my question:

Has the small bird population gotten dumber over the last 3 years?

Are there more birds over the last couple of years?

Does my 2021 just suddenly need to feed?

Is there anything to help avoid it?
