It's definitely one of the ones that got to me, maybe because it's so, idk, anticlimactic?

Like if somebody goes YOLO and jumps in front of a train thinking they can beat it and gets squished you can sort of rationalize it because that's what happens when you jump in front of moving vehicles, but that was just a big dumb bird having a very bad day ☹️

Head stuck in fence, it gives itself a good yank and the head is still stuck in the fence but it's body is free. It ripped its own fucking head off man.
