Bird strikes were a threat that the aircrews were aware of and why increase the risk by allowing birds to hang around the airfields?

Yea, of course they did...but no system is perfect. Bird strikes was still an issue, maybe "more" common on improvised airfields...but their are other situations where birds become an obstacle. Low altitude chases, is one example...
