Eerr that's not exactly what I meant :-)

"bird.inc" is the name of your include file.

Is there a declaration in that file like

#declare Obj_name= followed by the actual object, maybe a mesh or mesh2 with 
lots of data lines?

"Obj_name"     is an example name, it could be "Bird" or anything except a 
POVRay keyword
If yes, there must be at the end of bird.inc or somewhere in you main file a 
line like
object{Obj_name}
It is in this block that you must put the scale
object{Obj_name scale 0.01}

If no declaration and if you have only one mesh, put the scale just before 
the last "}" of the bird.inc file

I admit this is not cristal clear but without seeing  the code ...

It may be that the bird is around the camera. If that's the case, you should 
move the bird ir the camera.
