A little-studied set of accidents is pigeon strikes in the Park. Here, pigeons often lose situational awareness and crash into humans, hitting them on the head. Most people undergo major life changes once they recover. Below are testimonials from pigeon-strike survivors that our team would like to investigate in more detail. Aria (31, female)
I’ve noticed changes in my behaviour after I was released from the hospital. I began visiting my uncle Ober. Previously, we never got along. Now, I find him fascinating to talk to. He still strongly dislikes me and is suing me for harassment. He wants a restraining order against me. Bo (47, male)
I still had the stitches when I joined the boxing club. Even before my pigeon strike, I had bad eyesight, but now I am legally blind. The club took me on, nonetheless. I never told them that without glasses I was blind. The minute I enter the ring, I get hit. I get knocked out in ten seconds. But I like the blows—they remind me of my pigeon strike. Emanuela (37, female)
Before, I lived on antidepressants. I acted happy and had a job. After my pigeon-hit—I had no more use for the drugs. I quit them, and now I am constantly depressed. I still take walks in the park, and I’m not afraid of pigeons.
