"...Drone strike on a 737 in June 2016 in Charleroi (the airline shall not be named). For convenience, the PIC was asked to report it as a birdstrike..."
Who asked him/her to report it as a birdstrike?

M. O'L. himself... no, just kidding. It would be a bit shocking to learn if this happened due to some sort of company policy.

When I fly on an aircraft, I call it "my bird". Thus a drone might also be considered as a bird.

...except for "my chick", perhaps?
But there was no question of shooting at anyone, least of all at the messenger. There's only curiosity.
