Strongly suggest you inform yourself on the ecology of the bird
itself.  Does it plant seeds?  Does it excavate cavities for
other birds/small mammals that plant trees?  Does it provide
any sort of habitat (via its excavations) for the micro-fauna
and/or micro-flora that form part of the nutrient recycling
pathway in the forest which it inhabits?  These and many more
questions like them are the primary determinants of the "value"
of the bird over the long term.
