...or, a bit bigger or possibly the aircraft going faster.
Case in point:
Ethiopian 727 noticed years ago in Khartoum, and the buzzard that struck the aeroplane, while said aeroplane was traveling at 340KIAS, at 4,000AGL went...
thru the radome
thru the forward pressure bulkhead
thru the FD door...
and ended up in the FC lounge area.
Oh yes, it also broke the co-pilots left leg along the way.
Nasty.
