Bird strikes are fairly uncommon in GA planes because at the altitudes
you find the most birds, GA planes typically have slowed down quite a
bit. A bird can usually avoid anything going less than 90 knots - don't
forget they get lots of flying practise as they may fly most of the day.

Tell that to the Turkey Buzzard I hit at 80 knots at 2000 AGL in the Skyhawk.
