Gotcha - Whenever an opponent touches the table with his or her hand, you may say "Gotcha!" If you do, return Cardpecker from your graveyard to your hand.

One thing that has always bothered me about unset cards is that they can not be used in real formats. Some of them have gimmicks that would be pretty great if you could work around the physical and rules-nightmare aspects of them however.
The goal of this thread is to redesign ("normalize") any unset card to make it appropriate enough for sanctioned play. When redesigning the card try to stick to the flavor of the card as best you can. Here are some cards I have redesigned as examples: (Please make sure to include a link to the card you are redesigning.)

Redesigned Name: AEther Time-Rift
CMC: Same
Card Type: Same
Text: All creatures have haste.
Players play with the top card of their libraries revealed.
Whenever a permanent card is revealed from the top of any player's library that player creates a token copy of that permanent except its name is AEther Clone.
Whenever the top card of a player's library changes zones or the card order of their library changes that player exiles all tokens named Aether Clone that they control before revealing the top card of their library.
P/T: None.

Redesigned Name: Timber Hallower
CMC: Same
Card Type: Same
Text: Flying
Timber Hallower gets +1/+0 so long as an opponent controls an untapped Forest or Swamp. ((Woodpeckers thrive in woodland areas.))
Whenever an opponent shuffles their library or puts a card on the bottom of their library you may return Timber Hallower from your graveyard to your hand. ((Most players normally touch the table when picking up their deck to shuffle.))
Flavor Text: To some groves a blessing. To others an affliction.
P/T: 1/1
Which cards would you redesign?

Oh man, I just saw the art for Aven Brigadier . Such a winner! And Commander Eesha is incredible! Crookclaw Elder and Gustcloak Savior are sweet value too. Bird Tribal has some fun value.
In terms of mana, some other ideas are Dreamscape Artist .... he alllllmost counts as a bird? Technically he does, he's a shapeshifter, but maybe not a flavour win, haha. Probably not good enough. Also, I'd say Paradise Mantle which has a flavour win as it's off the Birds of Paradise idea and, even if only in imagery, gives "wings" (see picture) ;). I was going to recommend Dream Thrush over a signet if you had one, for fixing mana on theme, but you don't have one.
I really like Opt , Brainstorm , and Ponder in my blue decks cause they help me make sure I hit my landrops, or later on get me the cards I need (or skip the cards I don't need). In this awesome bird theme your building up, I think Augury Owl is a great way to fill that niche. Brilliant, in my own mind :). Aven Fateshaper does that too, but he's a little more pricey... except, when he comes out he can keep doing it for ! Awesome.
If you ever find that infinite combo, Apex Hawks might be good in here!
Cloudchaser Eagle is almost like bird tribals very own Acidic Slime ... note quite, but almost. I see you got Kestrel in there, his cheaper counter part (though I guess classified "equal" as kestrel requires two vs. the extra for eagle.
If your playgroup combos off, goes Voltron, or has some crazy creatures that end games, Aven Augur seems like cool utility. If you playgroup is just "good times" though, I do think you should put in Carnivorous Death-Parrot for fun or Cardpecker ;). My playgroup allows 1 unhinged type card, unless it's absolutely broken.
It's too bad Aven Warhawk is so pricey, or else his effect would be great!
This would be fun to play, I can tell. Nice work! So cool to see a tribe with such a tool box.
