My guess is it would be ruled as some kind of intereference, the ball would be dead and runners can't advance. Probably ruled as no pitch, basically a do-over.
Either way, it's a fowl. 😛
 
Lets compare the number of accidents that happen each year to humans that result in injury or death, and lets just restrict it to sports. Funny? That humans suffer from many more accidents involving the sports we created, and we're the ones with the large brains.

Birds don't play baseball, and there isn't anything in the evolutionary past to prepare them for flying spheres, or airplanes, or cars moving rapidly along a road (though some get the opportunity to learn that cars can be threatening). But then, I can't fly naked, in a dive at over 200mph without a parachute and expect to survive the landing, while there are birds that can do that without any training at all.

PETA...ugh.

The article said that the batter swung and missed (duh), but was thrown out at first, since it was the third strike. HOWEVER,
Umpires conferred on the bizarre happenings and ruled play should have stopped as soon as the bird was hit
 
Well at least it wasn't a naked fan running across the field and got cracked open.

Birds dont get a break.....taste like chicken doesn't it

Actually, I believe the NY Post headline was, "I Can't Believe It's Not Pigeon."

That picture was taken when Fabio was hit by a bird (pigeon, I think) while riding a roller coaster.
One eye witness reported it was a goose.
Many things come to mind like, "I Kissed a Goose".
