The mention of a Bird Strike....reminds me of the S-76 that was outbound to a Rig in Louisiana and hit a big Red Tailed Hawk right at the top of the Windscreen....which shoved the Throttle Quadrant Structure back a bit and removed the engines from "Flight". All aboard died in that one....and the Investigators took quite a bit of time to figure out what happened.
The S-76 was doing 145 knots, this one was doing zero knots. I am not quite sure of the relationship? Bird strikes usually leave obvious bits of bird lying around.
