What is a bird strike? Any contact between a moving vehicle (usually an aircraft) and an airborne avian creature (usually a bird or bat) or a group of such avian creatures is called a bird strike. The term is usually expanded to include other wildlife species including terrestrial mammals. The result of such contact for a bird is, of course, usually fatal. For an aircraft, however, the result can vary from a blood smear, an indentation or small hole in the aircraft’s frame, substantial damage to an aircraft component, or even complete aircraft destruction; this is usually caused by significant bird strikes that disable engines. A bird strike can, therefore, be a significant threat to the safety of aircraft travel.
