the bird is a cool opening for 1700 players and over but too advanced for beginners due to the loss of defence of the king.

Hi Abdiel, there is a group here that focusses on the bird opening. It includes theory on the main lines, contains links to materials on the web etc. Here's the link:

 I wouldn't necessarily agree with this statement.  When they say beginners, maybe a brand new player, but if you understand a few themes...I began to play the Bird as a 1000 rated player and I have done well with it.  Like anything, you just have to give it some time and effort.
