I once had a swan land on my car.  I was sitting in traffic on a bridge
over the river Main in Frankfurt when a swan cruising downriver hit
the tramcar wires that run over the bridge and crash-landed.

The car was _covered_ in guano and quite badly damaged by the impact.
The swan was pissed off, and wandered off towards Offenbach muttering
to itself.

The insurance company didn't turn a hair.
