Birdee is English in Origin.

Birdee is an English word-name, a creative respelling of Birdie. It ultimately comes from Middle English bird(e), related to Old English brid “young bird,” and carries connotations of song, lightness, and freedom. The -ee ending signals a pet-form or playful diminutive, making the name feel breezy and affectionate.

In use since the late 19th century, Birdie flourished as a Victorian nickname in Britain and America - sometimes standing alone, sometimes attached to B-names such as Bertha, Roberta, or Alberta - before receding mid-20th century. Vintage-nickname and nature-name trends have revived interest in recent years, though Birdee itself remains the least common spelling. Pop culture kept this form visible through the 1998 film Hope Floats, whose heroine is Birdee Pruitt. Variants include Birdie (standard), Byrdie, and Birdy; related pet forms include Bertie, which overlaps with Albert/Roberta traditions.
