Birds can definitely suffer CFIT accidents.

We also get a few every year flying into our big picture windows. It's usually the young ones that do this.

The Passenger Pigeon, now extinct, used to fly in flocks of many hundreds of thousands. They were apparently totally confused by buildings. Hundreds, if not thousands of them followed each other to a suddden demise by flying into walls.
