 I guess the trick is to find fresh roadkill.

Well yes. Technically you should not collect anything you have killed, but if the car in front hits it, it is, so to speak, 'fair game'...
Pheasant must be what the person who invented the phrase 'bird brained' had in mind.
They get bred in captivity and released in the autumn to get a bit leery and them shot around Christmas time, so you get a flood of avian retards waddling round the roads at this time of year.
Of course they always take off at the last minute and hit the front grille or valance. Pigeons make it to the windscreen..
I hit one once stopped but couldn't find it. Until 6 weeks later, when I was cleaning the car...
