The reference to a bird being involved has nothing to do with the bird hitting and breaking off a wing. It has everything to do with the pilot seeing a bird a and taking violent evasive action (a natural reaction) at a speed way above Va where a C210 normally cruises.
My experience went LOOK F#*K BANG in about 3/10 th of a second. Because it was a small (relatively) bird and I was indicating about 155 knots I didn't have time to react (thank goodness) and the result was blood and guts all over the wing fuselage intersection but no damage. In sober moments I sometimes wonder what would have happened if I'd seen it sooner. Perhaps 2 dead people and one live bird?
