Introduction

In order to get the Extreme Bird Enthusiast to spawn one has to create a shoddy bird house. Thanks to Scorbolt for figuring this one out.
First travel to Palamire [705 , 1403]
At recall, go east, all south until there is a west. Go west, north, and down. There you will find the mob you need to kill:
A hardworking roustabout
It will drop some planks needed in order to create the bird house:
Item 'a set of small wooden squares' is type toy, alignment 50, made of wood (in (new) condition), [Enable GMCP to Study & LTB] [Enable GMCP to LTB]
has keywords 'pile cut lumber small wooden squares cat1'.
This item weighs 0 stones and 10 pebbles, and is valued at 7,500 gold. {Cat. 1}
This level 150 item has no special attributes.
*This item may be repaired 4 times.
The roustabout seems to have secretly cut some custom pieces of wood for himself, likely for some personal project.  Judging by the size and shape of the wood he's cut, 
he's probably trying to build either a box or a birdhouse.  Maybe he's an amateur bird watcher?  

Once the squares are obtained take them to Rune Forest and give them to Servos. After arriving to Rune Forest go all west, 5 north, all east, then all south.
You give a set of small wooden squares to Servos, the bird watcher.
Servos, the bird watcher exclaims, 'Oh wow, these would be perfect for a birdhouse!'
Servos, the bird watcher Servos, the bird watcher whips out a hammer and nails and goes to work.
Servos, the bird watcher gives you a shoddy birdhouse.
'There you go!' Servos, the bird watcher exclaims. 'I'd hang that in a thicket somewhere if I were you, plenty of birds would love to make it their home!'
<br>
You focus your powers of observation on a shoddy birdhouse:
Item 'a shoddy birdhouse' is type toy, alignment 0, made of wood (in (new) condition), [Enable GMCP to Study & LTB] [Enable GMCP to LTB]
has keywords 'shoddy birdhouse hastily constructed'.
This item weighs 0 stones and 12 pebbles, and is valued at 7,500 gold. {Cat. 3}
This level 150 item has the attributes: usable-if-equipped
*This item may be repaired 4 times.
This ugly birdhouse has been hastily constructed by Servos in his eagerness to attract some birds to watch.  You think most birds would be incredibly insulted if you 
hung this thinking any of them would want to live there, but you might as well try to find a good location anyway.  Maybe you'll get lucky.  


Once the bird house has been retrieved, head to Towne of Rune. After arriving there, head to A Strange Hut. From the gate to the Runic Castle go all east, 2 north, 2 east, north, and all east.

The Midst Of Rune Thicket                                   
  Visible Exits: W Nw 
  Where the woods of Rune Forest have retreated over time and various copses and windbreaks have been felled in order to use their wood, the impenetrably dense thicket 
between Rune proper and its farmland has survived.  Too annoying to clear, too resource-poor to justify doing anything with, the thicket remains a sanctuary for wildlife, 
highwaymen and ne'er-do-wells.  There is a nail hanging from a tree here.  

Once you get here, hold and use the bird house to summon the boss. This part might take a number of tries to actually summon the boss.
You hold a shoddy birdhouse in your right hand.

Encounter

When ready to kill the boss go north:
Deep Within the Thicket                                     
WARNING: CPK
  Visible Exits: S W 
  It's difficult to walk here without tripping over a short little bush or
a sharp vine.  There is a small clearing where someone has clearly been
living and it's covered in all sorts of trash and filth.  Judging by the
number of birds hanging around, whoever lives here has clearly been stealing
food from the town and feeding the wildlife here.  
[Boss] *A dwarf wearing a bird nest on his head is here, covered in bird droppings.


You concentrate on the auric field surrounding an extreme bird enthusiast...

If he has the bird whistle the damage will be bash with a chance of echoing strike. He has a chance to kick up dust to blind. Other than that he has special emotes that I cannot find what they do yet:
'The bluejay...' an extreme bird enthusiast says. 'The bird of frost. Feel its icy chill run through your veins!'
An extreme bird enthusiast pulls an ice cube and a bird from his pants and tries to put them together.
The frantic blue jay simply flies away.

You deflect an extreme bird enthusiast's flames with an impressive shield of Trigaelian lunar rock, causing it to rebound upon it.
An extreme bird enthusiast is burned on the head with your flames causing minimal damage.


I did not have too much trouble with this fight. However, Daysi is a minotaur cavalier, ranger, shaman and able to use summon shaman. It is possible to flee south if needed, but the opening does not stay open forever so one does not want to take too long to get back in. The entrance closed 2 minutes after I killed the boss.
I landed faerie fire, curse, glare of the crocodile, plague, and poison with no problem at all.
I recommend getting some spaghetti and pesto for this fight:

You focus your powers of observation on spaghetti and pesto:
Item 'spaghetti and pesto' is type food, alignment 0, made of food (in (fresh) condition), [Enable GMCP to Study & LTB] [Enable GMCP to LTB]
has keywords 'spaghetti pesto plate hot green sauce fivepointzero _player-cooked_food'.

This food has the traits gluten prepared.

This spaghetti is green!  It has been lightly coated with a pesto sauce, giving it an tremendous amount of tasty flavor. 


Loot

This mob is known to drop a ragged bird whistle:

This old, worn down whistle is made to look like a ceramic blue jay.  The sound it produces is apparently attractive to birds, but to all other living creatures it 
sounds like death.  Just hearing the sound produces by this thing is enough to make your bones rattle and your organs vibrate to the point of pain.  
+++ A ragged bird whistle has a 5% chance per combat round to summon a blue jay, which will drop a large pine cone on your opponent's head for 75 damage.
