Isn't Battle of the Planets that one in which they dressed like birds or something?

It revolved around a group of teen-agers being recruited to pilot 5 robotic lions that could join to form a giant robot and fight the forces of a guy named Prince Lo-tor and his evil witch. Very cool, however after the second season they came out with a different version that was much more Asian (it just didn't "work" for American audiences) and it didn't last much longer than that.

Yes. Their uniforms did look like birds. If you've ever seen Teen Titans when Robin's riding his motorcycle, that pretty much looks like it.
