The Manufacturer has to show compliance with the Bird Requirements, which are based upon the perceived threat.
As far as the engines are concerned, the perception of threat has increased in severity over the years, and engines under current certification have to handle an encounter with large flocking birds such as Canada Geese.
Unfortunately Grandfather Rights tend to upset things, so current new production engines may assume a lower threat. And the vast majority of aircraft in service most certainly do.
