I'm sure that, unless you're GM, any GM can beat you with that opening. It's not refuted, it's just considered to give black an easier way to equalize in the main lines. But since only few players actually know the Bird Opening, I think it's very well playable up to a very high level. One thing's for sure: it's certainly not garbage.
