I remember an incident some years ago as we were heading through the fens on the way to twitch a Pacific Golden Plover. As we drove at max speed along a road, bordered by fields, a Pheasant appeared on the roadside some few hundred yards in front of us. It had a straighforward choice of staying where it was or just walking in to the field to stay alive but it chose as we were almost upon it, to try and sprint across the road in front of the car. The impact was enough to damage the car but it illustrates what a challenge it must be to blast these birds out of the sky - not!
Pheasants have to be a candidate for the stupidest bird, this article even mentions their small brains.
