Pronunciation: [ˈiːts lˈa͡ɪk ɐ bˈɜːd] (IPA) 
"Eats like a bird" is often used to describe someone who eats very little. However, this phrase can be misleading since birds actually eat quite a lot in proportion to their size.

These phrases can be used to describe someone who typically eats small amounts or has a dainty eating style, without using the misleading term "eats like a bird".
