killian, my chocolate lab

I have a chocolate lab and shes about 1 year old. Is there any good ways to train her to jump birds?

By "jump birds", I take it that you mean "flush" is that correct?
What training have you done up to this point?
Has she been exposed to birds?

You need to get on a good Flushing Dog training program.
One good one to look into is "Hunt 'em Up", by Joe Arnette & George Hickox.

Oh I'm sure she will jump birds. The key is just going to be keeping her close enough to you to jump them in range. Not terribly hard to do. Follow the advice above, obedience is the key... spend lots of time with her.
