Hairworm: Lives in the intestine lining, if large No's are present they will damage the intestines causing bleeding….

Birds can’t get nutrient from their food.

Hairworm is transmitted by birds by eating birds poo that has eggs in it. They can live in the ground for several months and passed onto another bird again…. ( Diagnosing this worm you will need the poo tested ).

Like I asked in your other post. Where are you getting this information from?

It may pay to put the scientific names of things rather than their common name as some diseases have many common names. Personally I haven't heard or hairworm, but I would like to know if it is a nematode, trematode, cestode or even a worm at all. The reason I say this is the description you have given there would describe any intestinal parasite.

Usually most pathology caused by intestinal parasites is not from competition with food but from obstruction or just general damage to the body tissues or the animal's immune response to it.
