Title: B2 Bomber vs Bird. Guess who wins.

Pretty bird!

Stealth tech works vs birds as well apparently.  Crappy for the bird, but reportedly no damage, and at least it didn't go down an air intake, or do anything to put the pilots most importantly, or the billion dollar asset at risk.

Lucky the plane was flying slow.  One of the first B-1s (I know this thread is about the B-2) was lost doing a high speed run through a canyon when it hit a bird, severing controls and starting a fire.  Not everyone was able to get out because the instructors were sitting in jump seats.
