We actually had what I think was a Seagull fly into our radiator. I have the Finish Line window screen that covers mine. The birds beak put a pretty good dent into the frame of the guard.

I've hit Possum, armadillo, Squirrels, a Skunk, and at least two or three birds in the 100,000 or so miles in a Cobra. Only once did it result in a hole in the radiator, and that was the armadillo, strong little sucker cracked the oil cooler scoop on the way in, lodged itself in to the lower right corner of the radiator of a SPF I was driving at the time. Thankfully, our group was close to a service station that allowed us to store it inside overnight until we got a truck and trailer to go get it. Sent the old radiator out to Afco, they duplicated it two weeks later.
