A British import that I read about 15 years ago, similar to WATERSHIP DOWN, except that it was peopled (ok, bad choice of words) and narrated by birds, and one specific bird on a quest that involved a long distance flight. This wasn’t by any means a children’s book.
Stump the Bookseller
New format, same book stumper solving.
Could it possibly be Gay-Neck, the Story of a Pigeon by Dhan Gopal Mukerji?

Our 5th grade class read this and I remember the main bird would often go on long journeys.
