decimating bird population, although bird strike does not often cause immediate risk to aircraft, birds rarely survive. with the amount of aircraft in the sky increasing and birds being forced out of their natural habitats, it will have more of an effect on the population
for Australia, 8 out of 10,000 flights incur bird strike. although not often fatal for the aircraft, it is for the bird.
16,000 cases of bird strike were recorded in australia between 2008 and 2017.
