I'm pretty sure the book you're looking for is Nest of Lies by Heather McQuillan. She is a New Zealand author :)

Tarlaye, since we have hundreds of people looking for YA dystopias, please add plot details (derived from what you've already written) to your header. This will help people who only have a few minutes to read through the headers.

This is a dystopia with significant birds.
