You mean to tell me a flockin' bird took the plane down? Pleeeease!
The bird must have bit the wing off and spit it at the tail.
It was like a giant bird fight?
I'm sorry, but this story just doesn't fly well.

I am an airline pilot for a major airline, and I can tell you that it is EASY for a flock of birds to bring down a plane. I has happened before, and it is why every major airport has bird advisories when there are birds observed to be in the vincinity. It may or may not be the cause of this, but it is not only plausible, it is extremely so.

Canada Geese being ingested in the engines of an AWACS in 1995 took that plane down. It happens.
