I agree but not all drone pilots are experienced, just read how many people in this forum admit their fist quad is their P3 and have crashed it do to lack of experience. If they see videos like that they will think it's ok and they can do it too.
You are right, there are a lot of bird strikes and the bigger the plane the better the chance. We all have seen how birds brought down this plane. http://youtu.be/WYBYHkQRBao If you know anything about flying you would know that altitude is your friend. When you at low altitude and low airspeed you do not have much time to react and recover to an emergency. It just so happens that the drones are flying at these low altitudes, and that is the most dangerous conditions to all real aircraft pilots.
Something to consider birds are made up of soft flesh, feathers and thin bones and in most cases at low airspeeds they do not cause much damage. Multi-rotor UAV's are composed of material that can be more of a threat than soft flesh, feathers and thin bones can be. Infact, The lithium-ion batteries alone can be very dangerous. If an aircraft were strike a drone in the right location it could do something like this http://youtu.be/wYLhbm_YHOY or worse look at this http://youtu.be/2BGtUxR_2xE. I don't think there is a bird alive that could spontaneously combust, do you? My opinion you can't compare a bird strike to a drone strike.
