Shuttlecocks are the feathered equivalent of a tennis ball, used in the game of Badminton.
Birdies or Birdie is a technical term used in Golf to indicate one under par. So if the usual form for a hole is par 4 (normally holed in 4 shots) then a birdie would be to pot the ball in one under this (3 shots).
Other terms used in Golf to indicate the significance of how many shots against the par are:
Albatross - 3 under par
Eagle - 2 under par
Birdie - 1 under par
Par - Matched the given expectation of shots for this hole
Bogey - 1 over par
Double Bogey - 2 over par
Triple Bogey - 3 over par and so on.
Hope that answers your question.

For badminton, you need at least two badminton racquets, shuttlecocks (or birdies), a net or badminton string, and proper clothing and tennis shoes.

Shuttlecocks do not fly, however it travels in the speed and direction that the players hit and control with the badminton racquet in their hands.

If you store shuttlecocks on their sides, the 'feathering' will be bent in on the bottom side, and the shuttlecock will no longer fly straight and long.

Badminton. You also get birdies in golf, though it wouldn't be said that you "use" them.
The birdies are the same size and weight, but do come in colors.
