Bird is fun! Timothy Taylor has written a interesting book about the Bird, published by Everyman Chess.
A lot a games with the Bird's Opening at http://www.chessgames.com/perl/ezsearch.pl?search=1.f4+Bird%27s+opening

I fancy the Birds opening more than any other opening currently as I seem to find myself some creative lines. I utilize the opening as often as I can with variations of course.

I play the Bird from time to time. Last week I won a 1 0 tournament on FICS playing the Bird in all my games as white. Last night I faced a must win game against a player that has never been rated higher than me when we have played, but has a plus score in our games. Facing the Devil, I trotted out the Bird to make his evening as difficult as possible.
Have a look at the game:
