Your 100% correct.

Saw a BIG bizzard here inTX just ahead of me and started to fly under
him with plenty of clearance. When he saw me close he folded his wings
and fell straight down and almost took my wing off when we colided.

Fly over not under.

Big John.

Once, at general aviation speeds, we saw a flock of what seemed to be

"Constant bearing means collision". We saw them with enough seconds in
hand to reduce our rate of climb and got under them.

Going under birds isn't advised, since when spooked, they often will
dive for the ground. Much safer to go over them, since their rate of
climb isn't that fast.
