Yeah, I think the birds line is:

"Those birds are only fleas with feathers"

As for what it means...I've been listening to this song a lot lately, and it seems to me to be a sort of subtle verbal attack on this girl who frustrates the narrator with her lack of movement or action. It could very well be another drug song, perhaps about a stoner chick who spends her time "counting pairs of cherries falling from the tree" and "pushing up the daisy chains". Hard to say. Love it, though.
