Just like 忘れ物, 落とし物 also refers to the act.

Not in any of the other refs and a Google search for "落とし物 鳥" return very few relevant results.

I don't think this can be considered a separate sense. It's just a euphemistic use of the original sense.
I've added a more literal gloss to cover such cases.
