FJ's and Birds?

Ok guys and gals, your all gonna think I'm crazy after this post but here goes... I picked up my FJ TRD SE about three weeks ago and since then, I have hit 3 birds and have had about 20 near misses. Never in my life have I had to watch out for birds before like this. It seems like they decide to take off right as I'm about to pass them and then they can't or hardly get out of the way in time. I also had the same problem with a goose a day or so ago. What is going on?

OK, go ahead and bash me...... "activate sheilds"...lol...

Does The FJ Create a Vortex That Sucks All Birds In? :)

Re: FJ's and Birds?

Without being too anthropomorphic, they are depressed. They know they will never own or sadly, without opposable thumbs be able to experience the FJ any other way. They have chosen not to live and to give their life to what they realize is a supreme being....

Re: FJ's and Birds?

I am not experiencing this phenomenon with the birds .
Perhaps you are driving at a higher altitude than stock.....do you have a lift kit installed?

No lift kit. I guess from reading the other forum post that I'm not alone. BEWARE BIRDS!!!!
