Heh... maybe they need to design for pigeon strikes and not chickens. Really... when was the last time you saw a chicken in flight higher than 20 feet off the ground, or hanging around an airport? Bird strikes happen near the ground as well as at altitude. Pigeons and gulls on the other hand, or ducks... they get up there a bit more. But are much smaller birds. A structure that will take the impact of a larger bird will take a smaller bird in stride.
