Today, I mowed over a bird while mowing the lawn. It wasn't dead, so I had to mow over it a second time to put it out of its misery. Now there are pieces of dead bird all over my lawn and I can't sleep. FML

Today, I found a dead bird on my windshield. Thinking I was clever, I turned on my windshield wipers to get the bird off. Unfortunately, the dead bird fell through my open window and onto my lap. FML

Today, I was jumping on every crunchy leaf on the sidewalk. I went especially far out of my way to step on one only to notice it didn't crunch right. I looked closer, it was a dead bird. FML

Today, I saved a bird from being run over as it lay in the middle of the road. Thinking it had a broken wing or something, I started carrying it home, intending to take it to the vet later. It crapped in my hand and flew away. FML

Today, I spent an hour and a half washing my car. As I was driving down the highway, a large bird flew over my car and accidentally dropped the dead animal he was about to have for dinner. It landed on my windshield. FML

Today, I had to mow the lawn with a weedwacker because it rained a lot the past week and the push mower was broken. I started "mowing", and forgetting that I am mowing where the dogs go to the restroom, I absent-mindedly weedwack over dog poop. Which got flung into my face. FML

Today, I was asleep in my back garden and woke up when a bird landed on my hat and took a big shit right in my open mouth. FML

Today, I was woken up by a funky smell. My dog had eaten a dead bird and thrown up all over my bed and floor. At 4 o'clock in the morning I had to clean up regurgitated bits of bird, feathers, blood and dog food. The smell still hasn't gone away. FML

The bird

Today, I saved a baby bird from the site I work on. It was the runt and did not have any feathers and was neglected by the mother. I took care of it all day at work and planned on taking it to a wildlife reserve after work. Two minutes away from the reserve, we hit a pothole and I dropped it. It died. FML

Today, I killed a pigeon. It choked to death on a piece of bread I threw its way. FML

This could be a horror movie... Or a game. Angry, zombie birds.

One of the people my dad hired to do yard work mowed over a nest of baby bunnies last summer. It was a terrible time. Accidents happen, although I don't know if I would have mowed over it again. At least you didn't leave it there to suffer, I guess.

At least you did the right thing, it's a bit like driving over a cat or dog. You didn't let it suffer.

...It depends on the injury sustained, plenty of them actually pull through...are you telling me if you hit a cat or dog you'd immediately just run it down again to make sure it's dead..?

I get having to put it out of its misery, but WHY DID YOU MOW OVER IT IN THE FIRST PLACE??!!

Perhaps because the grass was high and OP didn't see it? Maybe this is too far fetched of me to assume, but that's what came to my mind.

Okay, now I'm starting to imagine an African safari, and the OP is like, Steve Irwin mowing the grass in a funny hat.

The first time was a total accident, but then to make the decision to run it over a 2nd time! There are other way to dispatch a distressed bird then chopping it up with the blades of the mower.

What he did was probably the quickest solution. I'm sure the bird didn't mind.

That bird was suicidal. It just didn't know it would hurt that much. Anytime I've gone near a bird it's either flown away or hopped away. That bird broke the sacred covenant between man and avians ergo it wouldn't to die.
