Bird strike is an aviation term for a bird striking an airplane. If the plane is in mid-air it can result in a 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. [1]
