No. Birds do not have hair. All birds have a body covering of feathers.
These feathers may be different in structure, depending on the species, but having a body covering of feathers is one of the defining characteristics of birds.
In some birds, such as kiwi, the shaggy feathers may take on the appearance of hair, but hair is a trait unique to mammals. Birds may also have rictal bristles, which are hairlike feathers that occur mostly around the base of the bill, nostrils and eyes. The rictal bristles around the eyes act as eyelashed, to protect birds from dust. Similarly, the nose bristles filter dust from the air, rather like the nose hairs of some mammals.
