Stats on bird strikes in CPH
Hi,

From a employee in CPH I have received the following stats on bird strikes in CPH:

Every year there is between 70-110 bird strikes

80% are small bird like swallows - under 100g
18% are medium sized like pigeons - 101-999g
2 % are the big ones - over 1000g

the big ones are then about 3-5 every year so still some, but compared to to total number of operations in CPH it is not a lot.
