Eagles are known to fly at 40,000'
Bulldust the highest flying bird is the Ruppell’s Griffon Vulture recorded at 37,000ft but nowhere near Germany/Frankfurt. Any Eagle has never surpassed around 15,000ft

Must have been some bird....I thought these were tested with frozen bird etc. to withstand just about anything accept a vulture or something weird and very large.
