Methods and apparatus for artificial bird manufacturing in impact testing is described herein. An apparatus to generate an artificial bird for impact testing includes a mold generator to form a mold based on a bird class identification, a mold filler to fill the mold with a first layer of crushed ice and a second layer of crushed ice, a compressor to compress an ice surface of at least one of the first layer or the second layer of the crushed ice to form indentations on the ice surface, and a freezer to re-freeze the crushed ice layers inside the mold to form an artificial bird.
