That sounds similar to the damage I incurred in my old NA Paj when I hit an Emu at dusk on the Oodnadatta Track 5 years ago. I didn't even see it coming (didn't have time to hit the brakes) and barely felt an impact at all!
I have squashed a few rabbits in a 75 series that I used to drive when working on the Nullarbor, i'd swerve all over the roads to hit them! Some of the local guys told me not to slow down for the Dingos, so I didn't (didn't hit any though)
The one I love the most is 'Cane Toad squashing'! Just swerve all over the quiet back roads after dusk and hit as much as you can... however I did say to my girlfriend that if I ever found out that those Amphibians that I was squashing in southern Queensland were actually native Australian frogs, I would

Well… A while ago I was driving an ex girlfriend and her mates to their netball game.
Had the top off (the zook, not the girlfriend), hit a pigeon top lefthand side off windscreen, bounced off the GF's head, went under the targa bar and hit her friend smack in the face.
No damage to the zook, I just got a slap for laughing too much!
hahaha it would be worth the slap to witness that.
