Once he gets a little older you should bring someone with you to hold the leash. When he goes on point give the whoa command, and make sure the leash is held tight so he doesn't move forward...Then you walk around and "flush" the bird. A pointing dogs natural instinct is to stalk the bird, you have to train them to point. Once he goes onto point, he shouldn't move on a sitting bird, only on a running bird should he circle around and try to head it off them hold another point. After the flush, it's all up to you if you want him to chase the bird or stay until you give the fetch command. I let my dog go after them soon as they flush.
It's always nice to see your new pup get interested with birds.

What do you release him with for training? I've watched many videos and read the two books I have, but they don't go into this much. For example, when "sitting", I release with "ok", meaning "I'm done being your boss for the moment, do what you want until further notice". But with pointing, I don't know what to do when training starts "for real". Obviously, when training, there isn't going to be a bird to flush every time (or even many times). So after "whoa", what is the proper thing to do to release him from whoa with no bird? Ideally, in the field it will be "back", since there will be a bird that fell. I'd prefer him to remain at whoa when hunting until I tell him to go, but I suppose from what you said that's personal preference. I was thinking (maybe overthinking) that if I use "ok" when training, in the field he'll want to wait for that instead of "back". Perhaps I'm not giving the dog enough credit for having a brain.
thanks!

You are training a pointing, and regardless of what TK thinks, a retrieving dog. In my experience, the pointing instinct is more natural. Let the dog chase with no restraints, build the confidence and prey drive. Once the drive for the bird is there, it is way easier to train, because you control the prize, which is the bird.
