FAA: Major Accidents From Bird Strikes Are Rare: Bird strikes have been part of aviation from its inception. According to the diaries of the Wright brothers, Orville Wright hit a bird (thought to be a red-winged blackbird) during a flight in 1905.
Wreckage of Wright Brothers Flyer [1908] in which aviator Thomas Selfridge was killed, making him the first man to die in a powered plane. Orville Wright was injured in the crash, but recovered.This is how Orville Wright described the crash, in letter to his brother Wilbur: “On the fourth round, everything seemingly working much better and smoother than any former flight, I started on a larger circuit with less abrupt turns. It was on the very first slow turn that the trouble began. ... A hurried glance behind revealed nothing wrong, but I decided to shut off the power and descend as soon as the machine could be faced in a direction where a landing could be made. This decision was hardly reached, in fact I suppose it was not over two or three seconds from the time the first taps were heard, until two big thumps, which gave the machine a terrible shaking, showed that something had broken. ... The machine suddenly turned to the right and I immediately shut off the power. Quick as a flash, the machine turned down in front and started straight for the ground. Our course for 50 feet (15 meters) was within a very few degrees of the perpendicular. Lt. Selfridge up to this time had not uttered a word, though he took a hasty glance behind when the propeller broke and turned once or twice to look into my face, evidently to see what I thought of the situation. But when the machine turned head first for the ground, he exclaimed 'Oh! Oh!' in an almost inaudible voice.”
