I think that is correct, but can’t really see plod bothering to investigate further but in today’s society I wouldn’t be surprised. My old late father in law once picked a a deer that had met the front of a van at speed, put it in his boot only for the bloody thing to awaken and cause mayhem to his car! They do things like that in Scotland 
Years ago, a neighbor of mine told me he had picked up an owl he found laying in the road,
He led me over to his Marina van, said it was in a box in the back - opened his back doors & looked in the box - no owl,
then we looked up & it was perched on the passenger seat looking out of the windscreen,
as it heard us he looked round, head turned 180 degrees to face us - he ran like hell & I stood to one side - it flew out

Is it an old wife’s take that YOU can’t stop to pick them up for the pot but the bloke behind can?
no 
that’s law 
About 25 years ago I hit a peacock and somebody reported me to work, so gets back to work and boss gives the standard bollocking about driving carefully etc etc. Fast forward 24 hours and at exactly the same spot I hit another one. The owner wasn’t best pleased to say the least and boss was going mental by this stage. Now the owner put an astronomical claim for 2 replacements and being a multi national company the insurance company got involved. It turns out Peacocks live in pairs and because I’d killed one the partner peacock had basically committed suicide.
Mrs Bobbit done her evil business and threw it out the window, anyway some rednecks were going up the road and it hit their windscreen.
Mrs Redneck, said, “■■■■ me did you see the size of that ■■■■,on that mosquito !!!”

I hit a fox once…the speed I was going, no chance of avoiding it. The thing had literally just run straight out into the road, chasing a rabbit. Went directly underneath the middle of the car I was driving, destroying the front spoiler of the car and radiator grill.
Very surprised at how little damage was done, seeing as the thing was the size of a collie.

They are indeed birds of little intelligence for their size - makes them easier for similar people to shoot.
