Hi Eugeni:

You can reduce and sometimes remove birdies just by moving the black
shielded cables around inside the radio. Remove the top cover, turn on the
power, tune the radio to a birdie, move the cables. I used some tape to hold
the longer cables in position once I found a good spot.

I personally do not like the software solution that was also suggested. It
leaves holes in the audio as you tune across the band. 

73,
