Narrative:
Very shortly after calling V1 (V1 was 132 knots) we noticed multiple large white birds in our takeoff path. We heard multiple (at least 2) loud thumps as we impacted the birds. The captain rejected the takeoff and we came to a stop with approximately 3000 ft remaining on the runway. We made a call to tower notifying them of the rejected takeoff.we cleared the runway; made a PA to the passengers explaining what had happened and then coordinated with ground to find a remote parking spot for brake cool down and to have maintenance check for hot brakes. After approximately 40 minutes we taxied to gate and shut the aircraft down without further incident. The pitot static tube on the right side of the aircraft had feathers stuck to it and the number 2 engine had blood and bent fan blades; indicating that a seagull had been ingested by the engine.
