i don't think the bird was my heart, it was more disturbing than that… like i was a normal functioning body except there was a small yellow bird living in my ribcage and everyone was trying to get it out. using that website you gave, i found these two to be paradoxical:

Yellow Bird
To see a yellow bird in your dream, foretells good luck in financial affairs, but not so good in affairs of the heart.
Rib
To see ribs in your dream, symbolizes poverty and misery.
so which is it?
