Answers: I love saying "shuttlecock".
A dog named Minton chewed 2 shuttlecocks. His owner caught him and said 'Bad Minton.' ( I call the thingy a birdie)
Birdie
I call it a "birdie" - as I do not like the thought of hitting a shuttlecock
I don't play badminton.
Birdie

I have always called it a 'birdie'.
Either way is acceptable. The technical term is a shuttlecock but if you are just playing for fun in the backyard or something then you can just call it a birdie.
I've never heard it referred to as a 'birdie' only a shuttlecock.
I've always called it a birdie.
Keep your eye on the Birdie
