Say a bird was colorblind, would it help the bird out by spotting out bugs and such?

It would make it MORE difficult to find food. Hummingbirds rely on color vision to find flower..and are attracted to reds, and pinks..if they could not see the colors of flowers they would have a difficult time differenciating them from leaves.

I must not being understanding what you are asking...

Being colorblind means that something can't see color.

Not being able to see color doesn't help out in too many areas. Especially not when looking for things that have color like fruits and bugs.

Additionally, bird not only see colors but also see movement. Sometimes if you see a parrot moving their head around like Stevie Wonder it is a learned behavior that grows out of moving their head to help them see things that are not moving much like fruits and slinking predators.

No, it is the special acuity of color vision that helps birds spot bugs. Color vision is better than black-and-white vision for seeing small details, but black-and-white is better for seeing in the dark.

Not really. Most birds don't eat one particular thing exclusively. Some birds don't eat bugs at all (mine, for instance, prefer whatever I'm eating).
