Why would you be flying in a TS that's severe enough to inhale and freeze a goose? Doesn't matter how strong the windshields are if the wings don't stay on.

I’m calling BS on this. Show us some test standards. It’d take dipping a goose in liquid nitrogen to get it to freeze that quickly. I don’t doubt they get sucked up, but they won’t freeze that quickly.

Maybe the goose took off from a treadmill...

14CFR25 says nothing about frozen birds.

This reminds me of a Myth Busters episode where the quip or quote was, “gentle, thaw your turkeys “ when the turkeys were breaking through.

Throwing turkeys? When do you ever see a flying turkey. They’re too fat they can’t fly. While they’re at it they should throw some mashed potatoes and gravy at the engines too.

Should the cranberry sauce be thawed?

Wild turkeys may be airworthy, but domestic cage-raised turkeys are a fowl version of Jabba the Hutt.
