This phrase often implies that something is not worth much attention or consideration, similar to something that would only be of interest or relevance to birds, rather than humans or more significant matters.
The term "one for birds" can apply to various situations or topics. For instance, if someone talks about an idea that is dismissed as trivial or irrelevant in a conversation, another person may respond by saying "that's one for birds." Alternatively, it can be used to describe a task or activity that is regarded as a waste of time or effort.
The origin of this phrase is unclear, but it likely stems from the idea that birds have different interests and priorities than humans.

Therefore, when something is described as "one for birds," it carries a sense of being unimportant or inconsequential in the grand scheme of things.
Overall, "one for birds" is a casual expression used to dismiss or diminish the significance of something, suggesting that it is only of relevance to birds and not deserving of serious attention from humans.
