Ah! the wonderful smell of KFC, and the passengers asking "Are we having chicken today?"
For the couple of times that this has happened to me, I've simply kept a sharp eye on the engine parameters following the ingestion, particularly at the times that significant engine speed changes take place, i.e. reduction to Climb, Cruise thrust etc.
I must have been lucky in encountering only smaller birds, there was no indication of damage post-flight in any of the encounters. I have no doubt that a pelican or condor could have inflicted far greater damage.
