An excellent (and very humorous) book which contains quite a selection on
what the birds think of us is Peter Rigby's "The Crazy World of Birdwatching"
One famous cartoon from this shows two birds perched on a branch, one saying
to the other "Not now--somebody's bound to be watching."  Another is again two
birds perched next to each other, one saying to the other, "Then just when they
make a positive I.D. you make a call like a bald eagle..."  Besides analyzing
the avian brain, the book has a host of other humorous cartoon on the trials 
and tribulations of birding.
