A SkyWest/United Express Canadair CRJ made a belly landing at Los Angeles International Airport with the left main gear not fully extended. None of the 43 aboard reported injury.

According to the local media reports, the aircraft was struck by birds upon take off, one of which got stuck in the landing gear mechanism.
