Narrative:

On takeoff roll at approximately 130 KTS bird ingested into left motor resulting in a loud bang and yaw similar to a tire burst. The aircraft was approximately 13 KTS below V1. Rejected take off; auto brakes decelerated properly initially then at between 80 to 100 KTS deceleration green light on braking system no longer showed aircraft decelerating. Advised IOE captain to go to manual braking; [but] still no appreciable deceleration felt by flight crew. Advised captain to stop braking and turned off the nose wheel anti skid; [and] had him reapply the brakes and called out brake pressures. Aircraft seemed to now be stopping. Brake temperatures were in the 860 to 915 range; brake fans immediately applied; cleared runway; [and] when brake temperatures showed below 550 started taxiing back towards the gate.
