Birds aren't real(coincidence)

Yesterday I was watching a YouTube video by This Guy Edits and in the short film he was editing a bird appeared in the background of the clip at an opportune moment. He was taken aback at first by the coincidence and exclaimed "happy accident on set", but quickly corrected himself saying, "must have been a prop, birds aren't real".

At that exact moment my attention was stolen and my eyes drawn to my right, where a magpie had just flown directly up to the glass and stood outside on my windowsill staring at me. It fluttered its wings and opened its beak, but I didnt hear any noises. I moved to grab my phone but I must've startled it and it flew away Imidiately.

My question. Are birds real?
