Seriously, even the fastest birds airspeed barely overlaps with the minimum stall speed of an unloaded Cessna 152. I doubt any radar operator would mistake birds for an aircraft. Maybe one of those powered parachute type personal aircraft...

Unfortunately the radar operators must now also be watching out for drones or 'flocks of drones'. Hard to tell the difference between that or a flock of Canadian geese.

I posted on an earlier thread:

A few drones with reflectors on them flying in formation could pass as a B-52. Fly toward the capitol for few minutes and disperse.

Drones flying in formation. Turn sound down
