If you have a 10x10 kennel it can be easy to get him to like birds. Buy some live quail or chukar and put 3-5 birds in the kennel with him. He'll get birdy in a hurry. Then take him out where there are birds (you may have to put those birds in the field first) and praise the heck out of him when he finds one.
A word of warning, a lot of herding dogs can become easily gunshy. They were originally bred for herding and guardianship of livestock. Loud noises like gunshots may make them jumpy. Take gun introduction very carefully.
