Yes, I know reported cases of birdstrikes in some airports in Peru, Venezuela, Ecuador, Mexico and Colombia  with black vultures Coragyps atratus. Vultures are a hazard to airline companies from different countries (not only americans) at the airports due to the proliferation of open dumps which has resulted in the presence of vultures around the airports, which has become a danger to aircrafts.

Some cases in Brazil also. I done a work for a airport in Rio de Janeiro, and there are about 5 tons of birds fling near the airport. Accidents in the air were mainly with Fregata magnificens (some also with coragypts), and with the planes in the ground, it involved several smaller species, I remember of a Vanellus chilensis that was sucked to the turbine of a taxing plane. Hope the info helps

Yes it will be a big issue ....ornly imprufment will work , settle peditor birds or animals glosse to the airport-runway 

Not only in Latin America but for almost all Airports in the world (with possible exceptions due to Airports situated at high altitudes and the relatively lower atmospheric temperature like Tenzing-Hillary Airport  in Lukla (Nepal) or Courchevel Airport in the French Alps) and for ALL airlines, Bird strikes poses a real concern!!

During peak seasons (of birds) some of the Airports uses voice repellants (like pseudo gun shots into the air) around the airport to keep the folk of birds away. As the most dangerous time for a bird strike is while take off or even landing!!

Bird strikes in the U.S. or abroad (Latin America) represent the same risk to the safety of the aircraft. In the US is easier to mitigate this problem because we have the BASH or other systems to analyze bird migrating factors and therefore make pilots aware of the hazard. I’ve flown quite a bit in LA, I do not remember them having any bird avoidance system.  Maybe for the lack of resources.

This is a tricky question when we analyse Brazilian situation, let me explain :)

We have an investigative body that affirms that it is important to take care of this issue, and we know by a lot of studies aroud the word that birds can cause several damagens not just to airliners, but also to executive, militar and general aviation.

But, at least in Brazil, we have a bureaucratic and institutional problem, since the other bodies of the public administration are not concerned about this. About this, I have 3 articles studying a medium size city airport (2 in portuguese and 1 in english).

If you need, I can put you in contact with the responsible for the subject in the brazilian safety agency (that is military).
