Not really a whole lot, actually, except for some external differences. Both birds and fish share most of the same organs and cellular structure - they have backbones, hearts, lungs, brains, eyes, etc etc. They move, eat, digest, excrete waste, and are egg-bearing reproducers. Birds, for the most part have feathers and fly, and breath air, while fish have scales, swim in water, and get oxygen from their gills, but other than those three visual differences, birds and fish are very much alike. There's even cellular spots on a fish, for example, that correspond to ears on a bird. And the bones in a fish fin are very very similar to bones in a bird's wing. Now, if you think about it...you'll start to see the connections that all living things have with each other - once you make the jump from single-celled organisms to multi-cellular living things, we all share many many more similarities and characteristics than there are small minor differences between us. We all have an inner fish.

Here is the difference a mammal and a non-mammal. All mammals have an invertebrate or a backbone. All mammals except the platupus gives birth to live babies.
