The weight of the bird isnt enough to break the bridge. I mean a bird doesnt weigh all that much anyhow.
the bird at least weighs SOMETHING, and ANY amount of extra weight would make it collapse

It's stupid since no bridge is gonna be designed to take that exact amount of weight when there are trucks that weigh the same. If its anything its what mrmakaveli said.

maybe the bridge's weakest point is in the middle...and that is where the max. weight limit number is derivated from.

once the truck is 3/4 of the way along the bridge, the bird can land safely on the truck without collapsing the bridge

maybe the truck burns one pound of gas driving 3/4s of the way over the bridge and the bird weighs one pound
Damn you that is exactly what I was going to say.

The truck was 3000 pounds before it made it onto the bridge, it burns enough fuel while crossing it that the bird has no impact on it.

Birds are very light.
