Problems with birds

So has this happened to anyone else? Your going down a nice quiet road/street, minimal traffic 15-20 mph, you make a turn, the road bends then all of a sudden BOOM!! Theres like 50-100 birds sitting on the road and they all start flying up at once to get out of your way and you ride right into them (possibly even hitting them, though ive never hit one yet). Its happend to me twice, and scared the ***** out of me both times. Today I was going down a hill (belt parkway path for all you NYC kids) at like 28 mph when I got to the bottom there were like an army of them waiting for me. I smashed on the brakes and started swerving, i didnt fall but came close to it. To tell you the truth, I was more afraid of hitting the birds then falling.
