Shuttlecocks are the feathered equivalent of a tennis ball, used in the game of Badminton.
Birdies or Birdie is a technical term used in Golf to indicate one under par. So if the usual form for a hole is par 4 (normally holed in 4 shots) then a birdie would be to pot the ball in one under this (3 shots).
Other terms used in Golf to indicate the significance of how many shots against the par are:
Albatross - 3 under par
Eagle - 2 under par
Birdie - 1 under par
Par - Matched the given expectation of shots for this hole
Bogey - 1 over par
Double Bogey - 2 over par
Triple Bogey - 3 over par and so on.
Hope that answers your question.

Who invented the game badminton?
Badminton was known in very ancient times; an early form of the sport was played in ancient Greece. In Japan, the related game Hanetsuki was played as early as the 16th century. In the west, badminton came from a game called battledore and shuttlecock, in which two or more players keep a feathered shuttlecock in the air with small racquets. The game was called "Poona" in India during the 18th century, and British Army officers stationed there took a competitive Indian version back to England in the 1860s, where it was played at country houses as an upper class amusement. Isaac Spratt, a London toy dealer, published a booklet, "Badminton Battledore - a new game" in 1860, but unfortunately no copy has survived.[2] The new sport was definitively launched in 1873 at the Badminton House, Gloucestershire, owned by the Duke of Beaufort. During that time, the game was referred to as "The Game of Badminton," and the game's official name became Badminton.[3] Until 1887 the sport was played in England under the rules that prevailed in India. The Bath Badminton Club standardized the rules and made the game applicable to English ideas. The basic regulations were drawn up in 1887.[3] In 1893, the Badminton Association of England published the first set of rules according to these regulations, similar to today's rules, and officially launched badminton in a house called "Dunbar" at 6 Waverley Grove, Portsmouth, England on September 13 of that year.[4] They also started the All England Open Badminton Championships, the first badminton competition in the world, in 1899.
