Marburg - A pedestrian in Germany survived unhurt when a dead swan fell onto him out of the sky, police in the central city of Marburg said on Tuesday.
The man, 21, felt something hit his back, turned around and saw the dead bird on the ground.
It had apparently been electrocuted on overhead wires from a nearby power station.

What's the difference between a swan and a flamingo?
Swan has more dark meat.

"A pedestrian in Germany survived unhurt when a dead swan fell onto him out of the sky, police in the central city of Marburg..." It says he was unhurt, but it sounds to me like he might have contracted a case of bird flew, or possibly Marburg virus. In either case, if he saw it coming, he should have ducked.

I think it’s a dead bird and then I would agree with Pete.
