Your comment doesn't entirely make sense. However bird strikes are generally only a problem under 1000ft, and the parachute will have opened at that point. (You can get bird strikes at higher altitudes, but it is quite rare as the majority of bird activity is close to the ground). I know this as I'm a pilot and I've had quite a few very close encounters with birds when taking off or landing. The plane I fly only manages 100mph, so generally the birds have time to get out of the way.
