Abstract

This article, titled "Pigeon strike!" from the Physics Teacher journal, discusses an incident where a bird, likely a pigeon, struck a window leaving an imprint. The author went outside to check but found no trace of the bird, hoping it had flown away after receiving medical care. The article also includes questions for readers to estimate the momentum, kinetic energy, force, pressure, and wingspan of the bird. The answers to these questions can be found online in the current issue of the journal. The article concludes with information about Fermi Questions and how to submit ideas.
