I almost hit them. They were too low to be seen behind the grass.Later I was biking, and a flying Woodpigeon hit me on the head by force. Later I actually ran over a young Woodpigeon, which just sat on the road and refused to fly. Then I looked out of the window, and a Woodpigeon took off and hit the glass just near my face. I thought the glass will break and shower me with sharp pieces. Luckily the glass held, and the Woodpigeon flew away, too. Only thing which remained was a white imprint on the glass.</blockquote>
