How to count if the target is being hit by the player shooting for 2 or 3 seconds?

Hello guys! When the player shoot an object “like a bird”, the following code get executed which kills the bird (or destroys it). I need to add a line to this code that delays the destruction of the bird, only if the player keeps shooting at it for 2 or 3 seconds continuously. In other words, I need to be able to count how long the target is being hit with the player.

Thank you all in advance.

function OnTriggerEnter(hit : Collider)
{
 
	if((hit.gameObject.name).Contains("bird") )
	{ 
	       Destroy(hit.gameObject); 
	}

}

a common approach is to have a “health” or “strength”. count how many times it is hit. After say 10 times, it is blown-up or whatever happens in your game.
