Far too little information is given to answer a question regarding what a birdstrike will do. The size of the bird, where the strike occurs, and how fast both the bird and the aircraft are going make the answer to your question very subjective. It can bounce off, splatter and leave a bloody mess, punch a hole in the windscreen...do all kinds of things.

Going around the bird really won't be an option, most of the time. Generally you're best off continuing to fly the airplane and letting the bird take evasive action.
