Old British Slang "Bird" for young girl - still used?

[Colophon]

A classic clip from those “blooper” shows had a question on Family Fortunes asking “Name a bird with a long neck”.

Smart-arse contestant replied:

Naomi Campbell.

it would be analagous to mate and yeah it is jamaican in origin

any white kid using it will look very silly to anyone who has got their wisdom teeth.

It’s actually “blood”, that spelling just reflects how it’s pronounced. It’s used by young black people in some parts of the US as well I think (in fact I wouldn’t be surprised if it stems from the Bloods gang).

Used in context here…

OK, thanks! Hadn’t heard it before.
