I could imagine the situation where an aircraft reported a bird strike on short final, and ATC instructed the traffic following to go around because the struck aircraft might come to a stop on the runway.
I can definitely not imagine any case where ATC would observe an aircraft getting hit by a bird (not likely by itself), and tell them to go around. Why would ATC do that? And normally it would not make sense to go around after a bird strike on short final, unknown damage, set up for landing, I would continue.
ah yes, what I meant is if I’m following an aircraft ahead that had a bird strike.
