Doubtful.
The chicken gun (also known as the chicken cannon, turkey gun, or rooster booster) has been around since 1972.
Such bird guns have been around longer than that. In 1973 or '74 when I was in the Air Force. I was first told a related story about the use of one at, IIRC, Lockheed with the actual event taking place quite a few years earlier. That story, by an engineer who had seen the high speed films, was from the days when they used live, but sedated, chickens. The story went that the chicken in question woke up before being fired, and could be seen "putting on the brakes", with wings out and cupped forward, in an apparent attempt to stop before hitting the windscreen. Even the guy who told me the story thought that the bird's wings and body were probably just responding to mechanical forces, there being too little time for it to actually react to what was going on.
