No they are not sparrows but we're talking buzards and falcons here.
Have had 6 birdstrikes so far in the last 3 years.....5 of them the last 4 months in DTM.
Do we still remember ezy's first flight out of DTM?? New airplane had to be flown in from LGW a couple hours before as original first a/c had hole in leading edge from impact with falcon on arrival.
