I would go with the red as an inner border and then the crows. Just the narrower red might look like sashing and that you left off the border. The width of the combined borders should at least equal the size of the block for balance.

For some reason the little crows seems to appeal to me. I know it might look a little busy, but I just like it.

While I agree on the red only, it does make the quilt squares stand out the best of all the borders, I also like the black border with the black birds. It kind of goes with the I Spy theme.
