Agree!
Good report worth the read.

This prescient 2002 report is worth a read:
Large Flocking Birds - An International Conflict Between Conservation and Air Safety
A couple of points from my view
the engines on the thread subject flight were probably only certified to continue running with birds up to 1.5 lbs.
The large bird strikes commented on in the referenced report 4 lbs and up left remakable damage to the aircraft as well as the engines.
Bird hazard abatement on the ground is far easier than encountering flocks of birds while they are in flight away from control procedures. See and avoid is also difficult.
