"Bird" was a slang term for 'good' in the 19th century and so a great shot on the Golf course became known as a 'bird', which then turned into 'birdie'. It was used for any under-par score at first. Then, 'eagle' was added to maintain the avian theme and it differentiated a shot of two under par, from the 'birdie', which was one under par. An extremely rare three under par shot is now called an 'albatross' (aka 'double eagle').

In golf, it is a birdie. In badminton, the birdie is officially called a "shuttlecock".

A birdie is a golf score. Each hole has a par score. If you do it in one less it is called a birdie.
In golf there is no other, In badminton it is also called a shuttlecock.

Golf. lol No, It's Badminton.
In golf a birdie is one under par on a given hole. So a 2 on a par 3, 3 on a par 4 and 4 on a par 5.
They don't. But, there is a small connection. The shuttle cock in badminton is sometimes referred to as a birdie. And a birdie is a score of one under par on a given hole in golf.
