estás preciosa
for instance. Please, if it's going to be used with someone don't do it literally ("pareces un pájaro bonito", "pareces una pájara bonita"). Sweet though, luck :-)

hermosa como un ave
Creo que sería necesario tener más contexto, para ver el estilo. Ésta es una opción. Puede haber otras, como las ya propuestas o "bella como un pájaro".
Creo que habría que mantener la palabra "bird" --no es una expresión habitual, de modo que por algo está-- aunque a veces en castellano suena mejor cambiando un poco la sintaxis...
Hope it helps!

¡qué flamenca eres! o que guapa eres
it is a simile and sometimes with similes you are speaking figuratively!

: You would need more context. Your expressions seem very local, I´ve never heard that "flamenca" bit...

"Flamenca" is a term used in Spain. It means beautiful. The word was used in the movie High Heels.
