Narrative:
At XA05 CST, captain on flight called me, supervisor of dispatch, to inform me that he had had a bird strike on final approach to lbb. He said that he was hit by several birds and there was apparent damage to the aircraft leading edge devices. Also, the radome was damaged. The aircraft was scheduled to terminate in obb so the captain then continued his discussions with maintenance department. I notified the dispatcher for flight also. The maintenance department then took over the aircraft and I had no further discussions about this incident.
