Yes, but it doesn't have quite the desired effect. When bird DNA is grafted into human DNA, we wind up having a large beak, an inability to speak - though we can whistle, and a desire to eat worms. Don't get me started on what happens when duck DNA is spliced onto human DNA!

Certainly not currently, and probably not ever.
All vertebrates have 4 appendages: 4 legs, two legs and two wings, or two hind legs and two forelegs (arms). To modify the development of an individual so that an additional set of appendages is produced that has the correct neurological connections develop is certainly not easily possible.
In fruit flies, such mutations DO exist. I'm guessing that it won't be so easily. Possible? Perhaps, but I kind of doubt it...
I like the books, though.

No. Birds and humans are not genetically compatible.
