Happened to me once.. But it didn't hit the nose it hit the rudder which was worse. People have died from bird strikes hitting the glass and going through right into the pilot in the Mara with smaller planes. We constantly have to have one person keep a look out for those joints and stay dodging them like we playing a videos game. Hated marabou storks since.
For Now I'm gonna go with
@BigMoneyGrip theory. He knows that planes anatomy. Only weird thing is this happened at night? Usually birds are asleep then. And then there's no blood and no feathers or residue?
