You mean, I think Scott, that you should avoid strikes by  
chickens ... ;-)

Bird strikes on jet aircraft are a real danger, but most birds don't  
want to get involved and dive away if they see the aircraft in time;  
that's one of the reasons for using landing lights.  All fast jets  
use their lights at low level if they can.
