OP, if it makes you feel any better, I smacked a bird ...last year I think? Was driving over a slight crest/bend and it slammed into my windshield coming the opposite way. From coming into view to impact was just enough time for me to register that it was a bird and not swerve
My insurance company is dealing with it. Our rules in NZ are very clear - if your dog/sheep/cow/horse etc is wandering on the road it is 100% the owner of the animal at fault.
