## Discrepancy

SMELLED SMOKE AT TOP OF CLIMB. POSSIBLY ELECTRICAL  IN NATURE, BUT UNSURE. COULD ALSO HAVE BEEN A  BURNING BIRD IN PACK INTAKE, GIVEN THE BIRD STRIKES  ON TAKEOFF. NO SMOKE WAS VISIBLE AND NO ECAM SMOKE  OR FIRE WARNINGS OCCURRED.  UPDATED TO INCLUDE THIS WRI AS AN SDR DUE TO VAPOR  IN THE FLIGHT DECK.      AFTER BIRD STRIKE INSP SEE REF: 05-50/2305 TRIED TO  DUPLICATE SMOKE SMELL RAN BOTH ENGS AND APU PER  JRH. RAN PACKS WITH APU BLEED WITH NO SMELL. WITH  ENG RUNNING USED ENG BLEED TO RUN PACKS PER M/M  21-51-00-05 AND COULD NOT DUPLICATE SMOKE SMELL.  A/C OK TO CONTINUE. ENG RUN PREFORMED.
