Legal Question in Personal Injury in Illinois

I went to see my doctor and parked on there property in a parking space. when i got out of the car and turned toward the doctors office a bird came and pecked me on my head,then he flew up on a building ledge. Before i knew it he was heading for my face, i tried to bat him away with my purse ,but i fell down on my side, and hurt it. I called the owners of the property to let them know what happened. i told them i fell on my side.the doctor looked at me and said she thought it was just bruised. i went back in a week for a checkup and the doctor said the corporation had called her and said they wasn't responsible, it was an act of god. i don't want to sue them. i am still hurting and would like an xray to see if anything is broke. i don't have ins. to pay for it. Was it an act of god? and they are not responsible?
