I'll echo this. Birdie balls feel far more like regular golf balls than any other limited flight practice ball I've used. The ball flight is a bit exaggerated (no big deal), and it doesn't take much wind before they are unusable.
I also like the Pelz "almost golf" balls, but they still go quite far and I tend to lose them.
I don't adjust my swing for either of these types of practice balls. If I hit the really light, foam, squishy practice balls, weird stuff happens - usually a big hook.

The nice thing about the Almost Golf balls is that they are safe around glass and other materials. I have two stories and I can hit 'em in the back yard, using my house as a backstop without worry of damage to windows or vinyl siding. And they have pretty good feel and ball flight. I like Birdie Balls in an open area (and the sound they make is pretty cool).

Totally agree. I like to hit them at our barn. My biggest problem with the almost golf balls has been the color. I lose those yellow ones way too easy in the grass, especially after they've bee hit a few times and when there are a few weeds in the yard. Thought I saw that they have white ones available now?
As an aside to this thread (and thanks for the info on birdie balls - hope I can get em in the uk) I was playing a great game in my kitchen last night.
Tools:
Wedge
Air balls
Washing machine
Object of game:
Use basic motion to lob air balls into your washing machine which you have opened the door to.
Oh what fun we had!
