'''Bird strike''' is an [[aviation]] term for a [[bird]] striking an [[airplane]]. If the plane is in mid-air it can result in a [[Air crash|crash]], mostly if the bird hits the [[engine]], possibly causing [[engine failure]]. Aircraft collision with animals such as birds is estimated to cost $600 million annually in the United States alone. [http://www.birdstrike.org/]
