Would "These birds are happy" be an acceptable translation here?

In regards to meaning, pretty much yea, but Duolingo tends to be a bit stingy about exact translations. I suppose the word order in '[These] hontesse kirini issi.' would better convey that specific variant. And I guess the form of these has to be a specific modifier one as well. Tho this is merely conjecture.

So birds are treated as a inanimate object in High Valyrian?

As the tips and notes state, the speaker may choose whether animals are treated as animate or inanimate.
