No, birds love eating mantids and always have, they have no poison in there repetoir of offence. They instead have an intimidating rocking back and forth stance, they then have the thorax (body) which can inflate, they then have sharp fore-arms that flick out faster than the human eye can detect, In short these things will not phase something as dimwitted as a common bird and the bird will most likely go straight for it without giving a second look at anything more than the food it will serve for the bird.
