I'm sure the word 'thousands' in intended to be a figure of speech.
No, I'm quite sure I meant thousands.

It's not hard when it involves dozens at a time on a nearly daily basis, several times a day. That's what happens when a flock rises out of the crop immediately in front of you when you're spraying a field.

I've spent a fair amount of my career at low altitudes, often below 10', and bird strikes are not at all uncommon.
You must be very unlucky and I'm glad you survived.
I'm not at all unlucky, and survival was never an issue.
Good job you haven't contributed to the bird evasion thread!
Attempting to "evade" birds is idiotic.

Birds do a far better job of evading you. For the ones that don't, you'll be wasting your time to attempt to "evade" the bird.
