Stagger lee- a few months back over here, at night, passing 10300 ft, one of our 777s hit a flamingo, ended up with a hole in the airplane, couldn't pressurise, lost the autopilot, and airspeed data. It was a very very nasty nasty event.
Photos showed a hole just forward of the #1 flightdeck window, and impact damage on the horiz stab, plus other impacts on the fuselage.
