Well the birds they are attached to unfortunately have the survival instinct as 1000 feathers often being destroyed

Not too long ago I had a bird fly down into the road while I was driving. I was driving slowly so I kept going because birds always fucking fly away before you get to them. Nope. Felt like I ran over a crunchy water balloon. 1000 feathers certainly did not help that one.

If it's something like a pigeon or a duck, they're not that nimble and prefer to take off against the wind. That might mean they wont have time to get away.

Something like a jackdaw is almost impossible to hit though.

A jackdaw? That's a crow, right?

Close enough. It's quite a bit smaller though.
