About conditionals:

• Conditionals are sentences that use 'if' and tell a condition that if something happens, then as a result something else happens.
• First conditional: If + simple present, then + simple future. (Eg): If you run fast, you will win the race.
• Second conditional: If + simple past, then + would (Eg): If you ran fast, you would win the race.
• Third conditional: If + past perfect, then + would have + past participle. (Eg): If had run fast, then you would have won the race.

About inversion:

• In inversion of conditionals, 'if' is removed and the verb that follows the subject must begin the sentence, which will be followed by the subject.
• This is usually used in second and third conditional.
• (Eg): Had you run fast, then you would have won the race.
• For the given question, we have to begin with the verb 'were' and 'I', the subject should follow it.
• So 'If I were' becomes 'Were I'. the rest of the sentence remains the same.
• Therefore the answer is: Were I a bird, I would fly
