Gran Turismo (1 or 2) used to have environmental birds that flew up as you drove towards them right? RIGHT? I just watched some recent videos and couldn't see them... Am I totally remembering this incorrectly?

Been spending a lot of time on #Pragmata. It took me a while to get used to the controls, but once you have it down, it’s a really great experience. The unlocks and progression were also super well done. Excellent game. Well done Capcom.
