Digital synthesis definitely makes FM more practical but it can be done on 
analog synths as well.  There is nothing about FM theory that is specific to 
digital technology.

As far as birdy sounds I'd agree with the suggestion of manually controlling 
an LFO but I think you'd get better results with the LFO modulating the 
pitch of an oscillator rather than the frequency cutoff.  Try using one sine 
oscillator being modulated by a sine LFO and manually control both the LFO 
speed and the modulation amount.  Then the trick is to play around and learn 
to "perform" like a bird would.  This of course only works for chirpy/warbly 
types of bird songs and not any of the various caws, gobbles, honks or other 
bird genres.
