You're darn right He is a big bird. The divine Word is a tangible substance spread more or less sparsely throughout the universe that He created, sustaining and monitoring it and upholding it, "sustaining all things by the Word of His power" (Heb 1:3). That means He exists in all possible shapes including eagles for example. Which means there are no valid metaphors for God - all such passages are literal. You know that immense wings can fan you, right? Take a look at the rushing Wind that fanned the 120 on Pentecost, or take a look at Charles Finney's autobiography where he described an outpouring that seemed "to fan me, like immense wings".
Psalm 36:7 is figurative.
