Some of us do!

I've had two bird strikes in the air. One was a small bird that impacted the center metal strip at landing speed. No damage. The other was last year at cruise speed. Must've been a small one because I didn't see it, but it left an ugly dent in the leading edge of my right wing and made a very unpleasant noise (any loud clunk at cruise speed is very unpleasant).
