I have wireless internet....dish on the roof pointed at a tower across the 
valley, and ethernet cable from the dish to my router, with a "power injector" 
inline.  I had the same issues reported here.  The internet provider lead tech 
guy changed the speed to 10mb (this was a change on their end, not my 
equipment) and the birdies went away.

Change the ethernet speed to 10mb half duplex and the birdies will go away.
if the router is wireless and the modem is connect by cat 5e, again switch
to 10mb half duplex,  i have not tried cat6 yet.
