If you look at what she does in the movie, none of her actions are deliberate with the intent of helping Flik or the rest of the ants. Defending someone is a deliberate action. Reforming is a deliberate action. She never says, “That ant is in trouble. I’m going to help him out.” She never says, “I’ve decided that eating insects is a bad thing and I’m going to vow to never do it again.”

It’s all coincidence that what she does benefits Flik and the ant colony. She’s acting on natural instincts.

But people keep trying to say she was a hero or a villain or reformed or whatever because the coincidence of how she behaved happened to help the good guys in the movie.

The way the movie plays out, the bird is just a bird. Nothing more.
