I had issues with birds at night too, in PIN, MGF, NVT, etc some stick to the RWY or TWY due to the nestling warm conditions. I d experienced in FOR a bird that went straight through our Engine while on the run... But never seen a vulture fly at night! although some ATIS even specify it on their transmissions. I think Rio in general is quite challenging, the terrain, airport locations, sometimes the wheater, traffic, overloaded controllers, ineficient SIDs and STARs (why not let fly via?!) and ultimately the diversity of operations. BTW, prefer operate GIG 33 than SDU 02!
I think some elements of Atis were recorded when they introduced it and the DECEA never cared about updating it...
