So? Is a bird strike the operator's fault necessarily?
No its the birds fault!

Being a Japanese bird and taking stereotypes to the extreme, I suspect it was trying to commit suicide by diving down an engine. The zenophobic Japanese news reporters have been know to breed special Kamikaze ducks that are then trained to identify flights that might force Air China aircraft to run out of fuel.

The bird involved yesterday was named Harold and had just returned from his african holidays. He was not actually supposed to be involved but due to fatigue issues failed to spot the giant airliner chasing him.
