Sevenstrokeroll, mcuh of what you discuss is in print. Go to the Transport Canada website:
Wildlife Control - Transport Canada
Specifically, read "Sharing the Skies" and you will find lots of factual information on the subject.
As for the suggestion of a large bank angle as a countermeasure for an encounter with a flock of bird, I suggest the outcome is not known. Assuming migratory birds will behave in a consistent manner when startled/threatened is foolhardy. Further, the high bank angle and damage to an engine or flight controls is a recipe for a disaster. A better strategy is to trade speed for energy and climb.
