How much does a Robin weigh?

A paraphrase of my conversation with Tim (he may have a slightly different version, but he also doesn't have a blog, so tough luck tpd) after we almost quite possibly take out three, innocent Robins playing chase without a care in the world before they inadvertently crossed directly in front of our car... (I'm still not quite sure how they made it or that they are not all smashed on the underside of my car somewhere).

Me: Aaaa...(but louder and screamier) Oh my god, how many did you hit, are they all dead?

tpd: No (said with extreme displeasure that I am so worked up about the birds) we obviously didn't hit them.

Me: What are you talking about? They flew directly in front of the car - how exactly did we not hit them?

tpd: I don't know, but you totally would have heard the sound if we had.

Me: What? We're talking about a bird not a cow here.

tpd: A bird weighs like 3 pounds and you would have heard the thunk.

Me: A bird doesn't weigh anything - you would not have heard it.

tpd: You would have heard it and there would be mass bird carnage all over the road right now.

Me: Really - cause you've hit that many birds in your lifetime that you can say with confidence you would hear a thud?

tpd: Yes. Where do you want to eat?


ps:
Q. How much do robins weigh?
A. They weigh 64.8 - 84.2 grams, or 2 1/3 - 3 ounces--a little less than a CD in its plastic case.
