Especially with young dogs once they become solid as some as they start flagging pop the bird. That helps keeps their attention and intensity. If you make them wait and they figure out its you that makes the bird flush they will start looking at you and waiting for you to make it happen. Don't underestimate the intelligence of the dog, their smarter than you think. I also think working with very young dogs on planted birds is fun but not great for the dog.
