Fly the 'plane!
Had a bird strike in Florida back in 2002. NOTHING can prepare you for the noise - unbelievable, like being on the inside of a metal dustbin hit by a wrecking ball. Made a precautionary (very shaky) diversion to nearby Zephyr Hills and removed half a pound of meat-paste/feathers from air intake, leading edge and undercarriage. A seagull per the FBO mechanic. No damage.
It can happen - but you probably won't see the birdy.
Now you know.
