Birdstrike damage

[SLSHAG]

Being involved in aviation I am all too aware of the catastrophic affects that can be caused by birdstrikes. On a recent visit to the Yorkshire Dales, a chance meeting between a pheasant and the curved canopy of my Swift Sundance overcabin led to a catastrophy on the part of the pheasant and some unwanted dents on my once smoothly curved overcab. Any ideas on whether this is easily repaired (no creases or paint breaks), and what sort of cost I am looking at would be greatly appreciated - clucking pheasant, but no more.......

You should see if you can find one of the companies that "suck" small dents out vehicles, they put a vacuum sucker on the dent and pull it out - SOMETIMES. I'd imagine that getting to the dent from the inside would involve dismantling a fair bit of internal panels and insulation - which depending on how the vehicle interior was built (glues, staples, etc. ?) may cause more damage than living with the small dent.
