Flying a Huey around 100kt, saw a Halag (a Galah facing the other way) just in front of the windscreen but had no time to react, and thankfully it just skimmed past on the right side and apparently missed us. Then the cockpit was sort of filled with grey ash, strange... but then it turned out to be feathers. Then the intercom comment of "Eeewww!" from the crewman. The rhs door was pinned back, and the bird was sucked into the cabin and smeared itself all over his boot!

No need to file a birdstrike report, but the crewy needed some time to clean the back of the aircraft.
