Looking at the pictures, I’m going to go out on a limb and guess that the bird didn’t survive.

Its impact smashed the plane's ray-dome before causing an immediate engine failure. Just "radome" - radar dome

Man, that must have been an interesting view from the cockpit, that nose was probably flopping all over the place.

I worked on the F-111s at Cannon AFB NM,RAF Upper Heyford UK Mt Home AFB ID and SA during the 1st gulf war.It is a tough old aircraft and can take a lot, it is built like a tank.

My ship was in Darwin one year during the commemoration of the 1942 Japanese air raid. Two RAAF F-111s did a close flyby during which they dumped a bunch of fuel and then lit it with afterburners. Can’t remember the term for it but it was cool as hell to watch.

Somewhere at Davis-Monthan a telephone is ringing...
"Hello? Yes? F-111 Radomes? Sure, we've got about a hundred of them. How many do you need?"
