If you use fellow as an adjective it doesn't infer gender. e.g. My fellow co-worker/associate. In that instance co-worker doesn't imply gender, and neither does "fellow."
However when it come to "fellow" used as a noun I don't know case where "fellow" is paired off with a counterpart, like for instance with
ladies and gentlemen.
"Bird" is typically British. No one really uses it that I know, except for a very small few and when they do they always have to point out the fact that's what they call females in England.
Since "fella" isn't Spanish and so don't listen to Frownland about applying Spanish grammar rules to English words. If anything "fella" would translate in Spanish to
"compañero" or perhaps loosely translates to
"amigo."
