I just added the BIRDS to the AMSAT-NA TLE Distribution this week.
I still don't know which BIRD is which as far as NORAD CAT ID. ????

I had inquired with the BIRDS-2 team a couple of weeks ago and their response was: "The ISS digipeater aliases (APRSAT or ARISS) will work or BIRDS2 CubeSat callsigns as well (BIRDPH, BIRDBT, BIRDMY)."
Earlier today, I submitted requests to the Heavens Above and AMSAT sites (pass predictions and OSCAR status pages) to add those three satellites to their sites. I couldn't find any contact info for the ISS Detector Android app.
