Yip, that is more or less what you'll need to put together to make a bird, however, it would help if we know what type of bird you want to make. Is it a chicken, a sparrow, and eagle...?
Some reference pics would probably help you get an idea of how to go about it.

Probably the hardest part you're going to have to deal with is trying to make the feathers, which would probably be best done via textures unless you feel you want to build every single ferrule. Another thing you have to watch out for is how the feathers are laid over each other and how the sizes of feather changes over the body of the bird, as Kris says, we do need to know what sort of bird you're envisioning though.

Heee, some reason I have visions of Chicken Little, but that's me. Yeah, you should know what type, so you have some bases to start with. Preparations is the most time consuming.
