A quick search of the NTSB data base shows 11 accidents since 1970involving bird strikes with helicopters. In most of them the pilot(s) was in some way incapacitated or unable to react in time to prevent the outcome.
They were geographically spread all over the place. The most common situation is that they nearly all happened below 1000 feet.

Keep your eyes open friends.
