On some older engines, the bird ingesion sometimes produced internal stator damage in a localized area which was not always detectable by borescope, thus leading to a compressor stall/surge at some pinch point like TOD etc.

On the new large fan engines, twisted blades may sound funny, but be very hard to see during walk-around. Unfortunately they may also fatigue rather rapidly in this condition.
