 Bird Strikes are serious problems that effects mostly engines but the good thing is most of the time it's avoidable to avoid bird strikes airline industries chops wood near airports so there is no food for birds.There are also more choices to get rid of birds like using pyrotechnics to scare them or maybe few strong lights can also work. So bird strikes are awful for aviation but most of the time it is avoidable.
