I have had several windscreens crack in my flying career and absolutely none of them were caused by birds.

Neither have any of them occasioned a "full emergency" (whatever that might be).

Nor would I imagine that a rapid decompression was caused. It would simply mean that the remainder of the flight would be completed at a lower altitude in order to reduce the DP.
