The mark on the bottom right is beautiful, but the typeface does not match it. It looks chunky and too childish—I wouldn't use one like that unless you're drawing a cartoon. Use a typeface that matches the precise lines and of the logo.
hmm... I wonder if you could make a typeface that mimics bird's feet? That could be interesting.
If I were you, I would experiment a lot more, and find inspiration from other sources. Take a walk, try to listen to birds, watch mary poppins "feed the birds, tuppence a bag", look at feathers, etc. Try to get to know the company and the subject as much as possible, and figure out what they are trying to convey about themselves.

I agree that the bottom right mark is a winner, but the font is not. It looks too childish, or 60s (kinda the same thing, come to think of it ).

"Birders" tend to be traditionalists, but artsy. Groups can reflect the unique personality of the towns or regions where most of their members live. Why not decide, for the sake of your project, where your organization is based, and use a font that reflects the sensibilities of that area?
