Poor bird. Really gruesome.

It is indeed gruesome.
But this has been doing rounds in email for some time.

Similar to how cockpits of planes are sometimes tested, by shooting a frozen chicken at it!

That's not cockpit. Thats the intake vanes of a jet engine! IIRC, it's actually called the chicken test. The hapless bird is sent on its way using a chicken gun or chicken cannon.

It is also done to test canopies of fighter jets. (Not a required test, but a freestyle test nonetheless).
This Porsche became a cockpit in this case...

That must have been one scary experience considering the speeds at which the car was driven.

I wonder how he managed to stop in time with all the blood and gore on his face.

Well, I'd rather eat it. I think chickens were created to end up on my dinner table.
