Do you mean the slang or an actual bird dog?
Cocker Spaniel is one bird (hunting) dog.
As slang, a detective, or something similar, might be termed a bird dog because of their hunting nature, but especially men looking for a pretty lady since women are termed birds in slang terms.

Bird Dogs are two different types of hunting dog. As stated before, a bird dog can be a retriever of bird game such as pheasants, grouse, partridge etc. A bird dog is also a dog that works with falconry birds. Our bird dog is a German wire haired pointer, he works with the eagles and falcons, pointing and flushing game for our birds to catch.

Bird dogs are hunting dogs. They point out the birds in bushes or underbrush so the hunter knows where to shoot when the birds flee in terror.
Another set of dogs, like the first answer said, are retrievers. I think they are also considered bird dogs but I'm not certain.
Like the slang term "bird dogging". It means you are pointing something out.

A bird dog is a dog that has been trained from puppyhood to search, snatch, and retrieve birds that were shot down during a hunting event, these dogs might also have to know how to catch birds that are not quite dead yet, or be able to kill birds that were only wounded by the shot.

Also a dog that "points" (stands absolutely still) at the bird to show you where the bird is located on the ground.
Pointers and retrievers.

"Bird dogs" are dogs that are bred to hunt birds and fowl. Retrievers are bred to get the bird after it is shot down. Some examples of "bird dogs" are Setters, Pointers, Weimeraners, etc...
