UFOs are just Unidentified Flying Objects. This can be anything fron weird weather patterns that manifest weirdly on camera to birds (as you mentioned) that the Air Force/ govt mistook for being potentially something else. Just because a flying object is unidentified doesnt mean it's an "alien" or anything more nefarious that anyone else may suggest.
This video did a good job at explaining why the US government has historically hidden "evidence" of "UFOs," (at least for me anyway). A major reason being to prevent public panic at the height of Cold War tensions.
