In order to determine the exact cause of these birds drawing near, we need to know generally what kind of birds these are. If they are robins or blue jays or any number of pleasant birds (if they chirp they're probably pleasant, or if a young girl looks at one and goes "Aww, so cute," your bird is probably pleasant) then the most likely cause of their drawing near is that the person they are approaching is a beautiful princess or a beautiful princess's love interest.
Now, if the birds are cool and/or unpleasant such as ravens, crows, vultures, or just about anything that squawks or caws, then the person they are approaching is an evil witch or sorcerer and should probably be avoided. These birds are either that person's pets, minions, or familiars.

If the birds in question are falcons or hawks or eagles, then the person they draw near to is a benevolent witch or wizard and you should probably try to get that person to teach you magic. It might be Merlin in disguise.

If the birds are pigeons, the person probably either has food or a message for them to bring to someone. This is the most boring kind of attraction between bird and human.

If there is no general category for the kinds of birds drawing near a person, as in more than one of the categories listed above, then the person in question is probably causing the birds some kind of offense and their approach is only a preliminary event for the full on attack they will soon be launching. My advice would be to get as far from this person as possible.

For further investigation, please see:

I hope this answers your question, as it seems quite serious.
