Yeah but...

Particularly, the Canada goose has been ranked as the third most hazardous wildlife species to aircraft with approximately 240 goose-aircraft collisions in the United States each year. 80% of all bird strikes go unreported.[7]

Probably a sensible thing to do to be honest.

So the response to risk of bird strike at whatever thousand feet is

*B*ack away
Maintainability direct *e*ye contact
Be *a*ssertive [not aggressive]
*K*eep calm [don’t run]

No, but it’s not aimed at aircrew. It’s probably intended for ground personnel who get up close to wildlife at airfields because it’s their job to manage* bird activity, in order to reduce bird strikes.
