Dec 6, 2014 4:15 AM in response to jodytateby mstarte,I saved the files on an external hard drive and deleted the folder "session".
After restart nothing happened. After one night in standby mode there are new files. I just opened the biggest file (160MB) and it's an archiv. In it a folder called "Media". In that folder are (very old) pictures from my messenger Apps on my iPhone (most pictures from Whatsapp).
I think the whole apple.bird thing is something for the icloud backup or so...

Jan 25, 2015 2:36 AM in response to jodytateby TheTrolololololGuy,Mine was 114 GB .. I deleted it but kept a copy - have not experienced any changes by now so just delete it - I also found the solution that I should reinstall yosemite cause it is some setting mistake about the reset of that bird application cache - we'll I did not do that - I was too lazy lol but for anyone who is interested in that solution restart while pressing cmd+r

Mar 19, 2015 8:01 AM in response to jodytateby kikar7,★HelpfulMight have found the cause, but need the confirm from everyone of you:
The files downloaded in com.apple.bird, are a few of different dimensions, repeated with different names every once in while. The sum of dimesions of every set of files should be the same.The theory is that you have enabled Whatsapp iCloud backup, and the dimension of this backup should be the same of the sum of the set of files.
Is this happening to you too?
The solution would be to just disable Whatsapp iCloud backup. Let me know if it works for you as well.

I confirm that that is the cause. I already did delete that folder twice and after the last time i did turn of Whatsapp icloud backup. The folder is not growing that big anymore.
So yeah it works!
