The Birdman is a Taken type in Alan Wake's American Nightmare, it somewhat replaces the Tele-flanker from Alan Wake.
Birdmen have no darkness shield, yet have the ability to transform into a flock of ravens to escape danger or close distance. They are a lot stronger then normal taken and take less recoil than most enemies.
The Birdmen are featured in both Alan Wake's American Nightmare and the 13 minute prototype demonstration of Alan Wake 2. In the demonstration, the birdman takes the form of a man wearing a coat. The Birdman shown in there also had the ability to attack objects in bird form, such as pushing a garbage dumpster.
They were also planned to return in the official itiration of Alan Wake 2, but were scrapped during development. What remained was a piece of concept art, showing that they were closer to the prototype's more humanioid looking Birdmen than the monstrous ones in American Nightmare, although featuring multiple hands similar to the Taken Divers.
