No, having a "bird chest," often referred to as pectus excavatum, is not classified as a birth defect but rather a chest wall deformity that can occur during development. It involves a sunken appearance of the breastbone and can vary in severity. While it is typically present at birth, its exact cause is not well understood, and it may be associated with genetic factors. In some cases, it can affect physical health or self-esteem, leading individuals to seek treatment.
