I've cleaned up a few seagull strikes before (being so close to the coast) during my mechanic days.

If you thought those things smell bad when they're alive . . .
                    ... you should smell them when they're disassembled!

It's kind of morbidly amusing that the head seems so intact. Depending on how the other side of the face looks, it might be worth a trip to the taxidermist. Well, as long as mounting an eagle isn't illegal.

This was a few years ago near Tacoma Washington

I have to admit, the eagle had a small window to hit when it took on a C130

I'd seen the inside picture (and some other interior shots) before, but never the outside.   Quite a mess on that plane.
