Birds have a hole in their backside called a "cloaca". It serves several purposes - it's where waste products (.i.e. poop) leaves the body, but it's also a sex organ.
In female birds, it's connected with the ovaries, and in male birds with the testicles (which are on the inside of the body in birds, btw). In the male, sperm is produced in the testes and wanders to the cloaca, where it's stored until copulation.
For the actual "act, the male climbs on the females back, and they press their cloacas together.This is called "cloacal kiss".
The sperm is stored in the female for many days, depending on the kind of bird. Whenever an ovum (an egg cell from the ovaries) wanders into the oviduct (the tube that leads to the cloaca), it can be fertilized by the stored-up sperm.
(A few species of birds actually have retractable penises - e.g. ostriches, ducks, and geese. But for most, copulation is done by cloacal kiss.)
