It's a common Brazilian joke when people get bird shit on their head to say "hey, be thankful cows don't fly"...

There was one time that one didn't have even that.

My uncle always used to say a silly little poem:

Birdie, birdie, in the sky

Laid a white one in my eye

I don't laugh, I don't cry

I'm just glad that cows don't fly
