well it seems when you cover up the breather filter on the valve cover the sound goes away.

The engine will idle funny, if that's what you call it, if you install any aftermarket intake pipe. It changes the way the MAF reads incoming air. Get a tune. As for the bird chirp, I have no idea...stock diverter valve going off? I don't know.

I say tune it or put the stocker back in.
Tune the the way the MAF reads, then tune WOT.

seems to be when you cover teh breather filter the chirping goes away but when you take your hand off it it its there.

maybe there's a bird nest inside your valve cover?
