Different types:

To me, a bird-strike isn’t a big deal unless it hits an engine or smacks/cracks or shatters a windscreen.

That’s just me. . .

Ive come across geese at 14000ft during the day but I didn’t know birds flew at night.

“According to a government-industry bird strike committee, there were 2,200 bird strikes involving civil aircraft at altitudes of more than 5,000ft above the ground between 1990 and 2008, with the highest altitude incident reported as a collision between an aircraft and a Griffon vulture at 37,000ft off the coast of Africa. “

Mt. Everest peak = 29029 feet above sea level. I think in WWII, in the CBI theatre, the Air Force used to fly the Hump (fly over the Himalayas) to resupply operations in China.

There would be nothing left of the plane. One airborne Rosie could have taken out the entire Eighth Air Force in World War II.
