I think I've asked this in the past, but not sure if I got an answer, what is the connection between birds and sukkos? I see its a popular decoration and not sure why.

I have never seen birds as a theme for decorating a sukkah unless it was a symbolic dove as part of an overall theme of peace having nothing specific to do with the holiday. Noach isn’t read till two weeks or so later so it’s not an allusion to his dove. There is a custom of leaving out food for birds on Shabbat Shira, but that isn’t anywhere near Sukkot, either.

Maybe a store in your area had a mad crazy sale on these ornaments in the recent past.

Or maybe they’re decoys to scare away bugs that are the bane of people eating in the sukkah.

I don't think it's connected, it just looks pretty near the schach with all the decorations.

I don't think there is a connection, it's just pretty and easy to hang

This. Like the stars on the wall. It's just random.

I eat chicken and turkey on succos. They are birds.
(I also eat meat/fish/challah/cake-ooh lots of cake/and vegetables. I'm a good eater)
Does that help?

It’s a random decoration that looks pretty surrounded by the natural look of wooden walls , bamboo and greenery. That’s all it is.

Ok, just most other decorations I have seen have some connection to sukkos--ex fruit is for the harvest/sh'vas haminim.

Doing a little research this is what I found:
