The idea of perpetual is forever, the sun isn't forever. You can't call anything that relies on an exhaustable source, no matter how big, perpetual.

Don't think a giant dippy bird is viable, massivley inefficient and financial suicide.
At the end of the day the bird is a heat engine, and a pretty rubbish one at that.
