On a serious note, I've seen a captain shrug it off.
On arrival, I noticed what appeared to be 2 large scratches on the fuselage. When the F.O. finished his walkaround, I asked if those scratches were ok. He hadn't noticed, so I pointed it out. He rubed one to determine what it was, and lo and behold, his fingers were red. He nearly freaked out and asked me to call MX while he got the captain.
There was far too much radio chatter for me to get through to ops, when the captain comes by, takes a gander, rubs off one streak with a napkin, looks at the fan blades, and says "Looks good to me, don't bother with 399." Who am I but a simple ramp monkey?, so I just leave it as is.
That being said, there had to be at least 2 birds, as both blood streaks, about 3 feet apart both headed toward the intake port. Poor fellas. They just have a passion for flying like we all do here.
