Narrative:

During the takeoff roll after 80 KTS I detected a large flock of swarming birds just beyond the end of the runway directly in the departure path of our flight. I called out to the captain 'look at the birds.' the captain looked up and noticed the birds and announced 'abort.' the abort maneuvers were normal and not unusual or alarming. The captain used the full length of the runway and turned the aircraft off at the end. As the event evolved the captain and I accomplished the required and necessary steps and procedures following an aborted takeoff. Aarf was requested by the captain when the brake temperature overheat light illuminated. There were no injuries to passenger or crew that were made known to the captain or to me. There was no damage to the aircraft other than the deflation of the #2 main tire due to a blown fuse plug. Subsequently the passenger and crew were bused to the terminal and another plane was used to complete the flight flown by the captain and me.
