Flying in a Baron I saw three pigeons coming straight at me while taking off from Southampton. One swerved to the right, two to the left, and we've hit at least one of them with the props, since I saw feathers on the right. I saw them coming so it didn't really surprise me and since there was nothing wrong with the temperature or any vibrations, we continued to our destination. (training flight, no pax). Since pigeons aren't very big, we figured they didn't have caused any damage. Upon arrivel, we notified maintainance. The next day they told me they had found a fried pigeon under the cowling of the LEFT engine. So it were actually two pigeons. Can you imagine? Such a small bird passing the props and entering the engine via a relative small hole? What are the odds? I figured we were actually lucky it didn't damage the engine.
