At the CPH airport they shoot more than a thousand birds a year.

If there was a hawk, could you be sure that it would stay out of the way of the aircraft? The hawk itself would be a risk of bird strike.

Sure, but a hit from single bird is supposed to be survivable. A hit from a flock of birds isn't.
