3 years ago at our local flight school a Maule on floats with instructor
and student on board hit a Canada Goose with the prop while in flight.
Parts of the goose came through the cockpit windshield and instructor
and student were each covered in blood, feathers and bone splinters.
Luckily for the student he was not alone. The instructor, landed the
plane with no windshield, a badly damaged prop and his vision obscured
by the blood and crap in his face. Massive damage to the plane but they
got down safe.

I was wondering what it would be like if a bird got caught in the prop, if
it would be a bloody massacre.

Good story, but your instructor should not have allowed you to take off
again after a bird strike.
