I am also looking for a good bird outfitter. I found a website called "The Sporting Field". It looked interesting, so I called the guy, and it sounds like a pretty top notch outfit. He offers pheasant and grouse hunts in S. Dakota for $300/day. It looks like a real nice hunt, but since they are all wild birds, you can only shoot 3 / day. If you want more action, he has 3-day hunts in Mexico for valley quail, gambels quail, mountain quail, or pheasant. Cost is $1650, includes lodging and food, and you can shoot up to 15 quail or 5 pheasants/day, all wild birds. I haven't hunted with him yet, but I probably will in '06 or '07. You might want to check him out.
