Narrative:

I was assigned to work aircraft by my lead who told me to pull up the inspection for a bird strike from the maintenance computer. Having completed the procedure; I signed off the maintenance pilot report per the maintenance manual. No special cards were issued; and there wasn't a maintenance manual directive to only use the check card from the gpm. My lead later reviewed the work package; and my supervisor released it (the aircraft) back to service without any mention of paperwork errors. I was given the gpm reference and counseled by my supervisor. When there is an inbound maintenance pilot report for bird strike; the bird strike check card should be issued with the rest of the work cards in the work package; and the card requirement should have been brought up in a crew meeting at start of shift.
