I do think Birdo was interesting in SMB2 because she was just some obscure egg shooting enemy that fit that game's dream-like cast of characters. I think her prominence in the Mario franchise has made her less mysterious and therefore less interesting to me. It could also be due to her role shift from wacky enemy to Yoshi's tacky female counterpart who really wants to be sexy. I wouldn't mind seeing her come back as an egg spitting enemy, though.
Of course I agree that picking Birdo and Shyguys as recurring characters was a wise choice as they are the most commonly seen characters in the game, I just personally don't like Birdo outside of that game.
You mean "him"?
I do agree with the female counterpart thing. However, I'd say it's good to see her more developed instead of just being a forgettable egg spitting enemy, myself. Also, I don't get how being less obscure=less interesting. According to you, if Wart made lots of appereances as a recurring villain then would he also be less interesting just for being less mysterious?
