Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
My Mac is freezing. :(
Specifically... This process:
Xxxxx-MacBook-Pro:Documents xxxxxx$ ps -ef | grep bird
501 346 1 0 3:04AM ?? 4:19.14 /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/CloudDocsDaemon.framework/Versions/A/Support/bird
Any ideas? This didn't happen before. Last time I reloaded my OS I didn't have this problem. Not sure what happened. (It's a brand new OS for crying out loud!) (supposed to be new anyway).
MacBook Pro Retina
The bird process is the back end process behind iCloud drive.
Are all your files synced? If not, it will take some CPU and sync some files until they're uploaded/dowloaded. Performance varies; I've seen it take quite a while to copy, say, 10 GB of files. How much did you move to iCloud drive?
Killing the process may not help; it will just start up again. You could try restarting, but you may just want to give it time.
If you open terminal and enter:
brctl log --wait --shorten
You can see a log of iCloud Drive transactions being made.

Hey... Thanks for the info!
Good tip. There is something like 47 GB on there. So... I just didn't know that bird was the iCloud sync process. (It was reloading all of the files because I had just reloaded the OS and erased the hard drive)

Bird killing me. :(
