They should have a fast spinning thing with blades on in front of the engine inlet to chop up any incoming birds into small nuggets.
A turboprop perhaps?If you think my attitude stinks, you should smell my fingers.Comment

Birdstrikes cock up propellers too incidentally, at the rotational and forward velocities of a prop or turbine a bird corpse is a rather hard object, the real issue is big birds or flocks of small ones.
The most effective approach is the one that airports routinely use which is to keep birds off the airfields so that they don't hit the aircraft on takeoff or landing. A common cause of flight/landing delay is scaring the birds away so they don't get ingested by the engines or slap into the wings, fin and fuselage.Comment
