Sorry for being so so late (as I've just started stalking your #(am i in love with draco malfoy) tag recently).
I just want to add an (important, I think) scene with the birds: at earlier of the movie, about minute 43-44, there is a scene with both the birds (one black, one white) in a beautiful delicate cage, right before the scene of Draco walking in and standing in front of RoR the very first time. So we can be sure the birds are both sent from Draco.
About the interpretation, I read others' comments, and while I think they are logical, I agree with you. This is how I see it: 1) The apple is a success, Draco is pleased with that. 2) The white bird is also a success, because it is chirping at B&B's; and when it comes back dead meaning someone kills it, Draco feels distressed, even frightened to realize the cruelty of DEs and the desperate situation he is in. 3) But I'm still vague about the role of the living black bird. I think one explanation is that Draco still wants to experiment with the remaining bird as he's fixing the cabinet, but I'm not sure.
