No sorry it isn't. Thats the domain for IR film or specialist equipment as the sensitivity is so much higher than a camera sensor on a unit thats a bulk standard non-specialised piece ala Canon G6.

I'm not saying they are birds. Just that something does not have to radiate to show brightly IR in the sky.
BTW. Snow geese are white and fly at very high altitudes.

Again, it's the contrast. In visible light the sky is bright. In IR it is dark. Against a bright sky it is hard to see small white objects. Against a dark sky it is easier.
At that altitude a bird which isnt visible to the eye shouldnt really show up like that under IR
