A Helicopter Flight Services Bell 407 was conducting an aerial tour of New York City and was returning to Manhattan Heliport when the helicopter struck a bird (reported as being a large seagull). The impact caused the passenger side windshield to implode. The helicopter made an emergency radio call and diverted to New York's 30th Street Heliport. The front seat passenger sustained only a small cut and the remaining five passengers were unharmed.
