Answers:

Note what bird looks like.
Get a field guide for your area.
Look in field guide for bird that looks like your bird.
Well if you dont hardly know anything about them, and by looking at them your not gonna tell.. get books to see what types there are and what they look like, or you can look it up on the internet
You can go out and buy a field guide... National Geographic and Sibley are good ones or you can look them up on the internet...there are a few good sites:

I recommend getting a good field guide, such at National Geographic or Sibley's if you live in North America. If you live in Europe there are guides for there, also. Start looking through the book and getting familar with the birds. Pay attention to the maps in the book so you know what to expect in your area. If possible, find a check list of the birds in your area, this will help you narrow things down. Most check lists will include what season to expect birds in, which narrows it down even further. You will need a pair of binoculars to identify them well. If you have a local birding club or Audubon society check with them to see if they have any field trips. Going out with experienced people is the best way to learn! Good luck.
look at them then your brain tells you that you are a f''''ing bird brain
Different birds have different shapes, sizes, colors, and songs. Also, most birds are indiginous only to specific regions, so unless you're in Antarctica or the zoo, you can be pretty sure the bird you see isn't a penguin...
