Unfortunate difficult target:
In a current exhibition in the Rotterdam Natural History musuem one of the items shown is a stuffed sparrow. Killed by a cricket ball played by the legendary Jehangir Kahn (1910-1988)on the third of July 1936 at Lord's.

This sparrow is the only one ever known to be killed in flight in a cricket match.
It is exhibited on top of the ball that killed him. A serious museum item on green velvet on a shining wooden pedestal in a show uniquely dedicated to the House Sparrow.
