A few characteristics of sex linked inheritance in birds are:

Female birds get their Z chromosome only from their father.
Female birds always express these sexlinked genes because they are not suppressed by genes on the W chromosome.
Note that epistatic effects still can hide this expression.
Female birds are hemizygous for the sexlinked genes.
Male birds can show a dosage effect for dominant sex linked genes.
