Create a blank layer, that has no effect on the base layer. Call this 'Animate' or similar.
Add a trigger on your base layer to show the 'Animate' layer at the start of the timeline.

- When timeline reaches 0.5 secs change state of Bird to Flap
- When timeline reaches 1 secs, Jump to Time 0 secs
As long as the 'Animate' layer is displayed, it will continuously change the state of your object until the layer is hidden.
Adjust the timing to suit your needs, but consider accessibility and the impact of rapidly changing images on some users.
