They monitor for birds constantly, and have temporarily stopped operations because of bird activity at times. Bird strikes are actually fairly rare any more compared to twenty years ago.
It is being argued that even one bird strike can bring down a plane, so is that not a good enough reason to implement remedial and/or preventative measures into the design/manufacturing process? In this case, they are speculating/arguing the bird strike may have jammed up the landing gear.
Of course, we are all just speculating at this point.
