Back to bird strikes; if a train is damaged,smashed wiper, light, windscreen or body panel, after hitting a bird and it causes a delay to a service, depending on the size of the bird is important to delay payment attribution. Pigeons and smaller, go to a technical failure of the train, anything above goes in to the shared pot with no blame attributable.
Also, if a bird shorts the 25kv overheads to earth and there is a trip, that is also no blame.
