I always wondered how that pitch was scored.

Fowl ball.

Seriously, the umpired ruled it as "no pitch".

That site also says that the baseball rules do cover a bird being hit by a batted ball, in which case the ball is live (even if the bird isn't) and is played as if the ball had not hit the bird.
