Because they like the color pattern of your ICE. Makes them think you are one of them.
Myself they see as a big nasty black bird heading toward them. They can't get away fast enough.  You never actually own a Defender. You merely look after it for the next generation.

years ago i had this problem down a road near me, sometimes i hit more than one at a time.
the road is now much busier so no birds but a 'bird' expert said that the sewers running under the road actually made the road surface slightly warmer which the birds liked. Mind you this was about 2-3 miles in the country from the nearest town/village so make your own mind up. BM52 |

Same problem here often not moving till your nearly on top
 As said above either grit or maybe spilt grain ect. You can guarantee if there is a road OR a field wild animals will choose the road to linger on  ____\We|Will|Win/___

Commonly looking for grit which they need to aid digestion, same reason you sometimes see pheasant poults gathering along the roadside. Steve.
