winds aloft, we were doing over 175 knots ground speed. At that
speed we (and they) wouldn't have much time to "see and avoid",

Winds aloft have no effect on closing speeds. But you are wise to avoid
birds. A friend was killed in a Beaver when an eagle went through the
windshield. A KC-135 was taken out with a flock that flamed out all 4
engines.
