do we think it is safe to say that the high bypass fans /engines are more susceptible by their nature to sucking bigger birds?

my first jet (NA 254-40) had small inlet engines and a nice cross of metal (if you will) that would easily slice a bird up coming in to the fan/compressor section.

the JT8D as we have talked about has such a small inlet compared to the CFM<56.

etc.
