>>The problem with this homiletics game is that it is just a game;  the
darshan is really giving his own view, not the gemara's, so nobody  is
obliged to accept it.  But some people are left with the  impression
that this is the gemara's or the medrash's view, and cite it (as  was
done on Areivim) as if it had some authority.

What does the Gemara actually say?  What is the context in which this  bird's 
vision is discussed?
