Hi Major,
I have often wondered what would happen to a wooden prop from a bird strike. At Caboolture there are on occasions, huge flocks of "dump ducks" and I see a few dead ones that have come to close to the fan, but I haven't seen the results to the prop as yet. Birds are an ever present hazard at YCAB because of the landfill tip. If the tip wasn't there, we would probably have a housing estate instead!
Regards,
Bob
