Bit worried about the dismissive or negative reception birdstrike matters get on here from some.
A single large birdstrike or multiple strikes from small flocking birds can kill you. In a twin flying through Starlings could rob you of sufficient power to remain airborne.
In many parts of the world Geese on migration number thousands and cause catastrophic aircraft damage in a collision due to their mass.
What ever aircrew worry about when they get airborne (terrorism, CFIT, midairs, engine failure etc) actually birds can be a bigger threat than any of these.
The fact that more fatalities don't occur is due to the efforts of others and a large dose of luck.
Sorry if that ruffles a few feathers!
