The bird is supposed to be a vulture, and it makes a lot more sense when you know that I think.

When you’re using Scavenger, and only when you’re using Scavenger, when you kill somebody they drop what looks like a bag. When you run over that it resupplies your ammunition and grenades. That’s when the bird symbol and plus sign show up, it’s a visual indication that you’ve just resupplied yourself.

If you’re using anything else from the Perk 1 list (Lightweight, Ghost, Flak Jacket, or Hardline) you will not see any of this.
