Narrative:

On takeoff roll; the pilot not flying called 80 KTS; I crosschecked my instruments and saw my airspeed was stagnant at zero. I then rejected the takeoff and exited the runway and executed the appropriate checklist and procedures. On the inbound flight; while on landing rollout; we went through a flock of birds which were on the runway. The aircraft was clean; inspected and cleared back into service by maintenance. This event occurred because of the pitot tube being blocked.

Original NASA ASRS Text
