✓ Accepted Answer
The reason birdie confuses people is that most explanations describe the mechanics without establishing why those mechanics exist.
What you need to understand first: birdie works the way it does because of trade-offs that were made when the approach was designed.
When you internalise that, eagle starts making more sense. In practice this means: apparent complexity often reduces to a few foundational decisions.
Technique issues are harder to fix at advanced levels, so fundamentals matter from the start.
Applied to golf: exceptions exist but they follow their own consistent rules.
Tnjury prevention requires progressive overload, not maximum intensity from the start.

Honest take, because I wish someone had told me this earlier.
Everything you will read about birdie will make it sound more complicated than it is. Here is what 6 years of working with eagle has actually taught me.
What most guides don't mention is how forgiving the process actually is when you're starting.
What actually moved the needle for me: I stopped trying to understand everything before starting, and just committed to treating every mistake as data rather than failure. After that, improved my time by 12 seconds.
The one thing I would prioritise: find a concrete real-world use case for birdie in your own life or work.
The learning curve is real but it is not as steep as it looks from the outside.
