Narrative:

High speed aborted takeoff account #2 egt exceeded red line limit following possible bird ingestion. Thunderstorm in area. Birds crossed runway causing distraction during takeoff. Aborted moments later when #2 engine overtemped. Returned to blocks for aircraft inspection. No bird strikes detected but engine overtemp confirmed. Abort normal. Using maximum takeoff thrust account of thunderstorms in area and tailwind criteria.
