I like the concept. Trying to get the birds to move away from something or
toward something sounds like an interesting challenge and a nice diversion
from a standard shooter. It's rather original.
I think that with the sprites as big as they are in your sample, you won't
be able to put much else in the screen. If you plan on having more than a
couple of birds, plus some things they are avoiding, the sprites will need
to be smaller.
I'm also not sure there's a need to have a player down at the bottom of the
screen since you will always concentrate on the crosshair. One alternative
is to have the player involved in the field, "pushing" birds
somehow. Repulsor beams? :)
