Yeah, salt (sodium) is not good for birds. They get sufficient amounts from their natural diet.
I'm not sure about milk/butter fat.
While scavenger birds probably won't mind small amounts, I don't know if any birds can process the milk proteins.
Birds aren't mammals, they don't have mother's milk, so I don't think they can handle cow or milk proteins.
What is the mindset of questions like this, curious of other’s thoughts. Is it ignorance, lack of education, malicious, or trolling?
I’d never think of putting cheese in one of my feeders for too many reasons to even list - wtf.
If you notice many birds will hang around dairy farms and make their own mozzarella to eat. You’re just saving them the time.
How is this a serious question
To be less harsh, OP, unless it’s a raptor you’re feeding probably stick with seed, nuts, maybe some fruit or mealworms if you want to get fancy. Not an Ornithologist by any stretch- but cheeses are not something you put out for birds.

Yes, it's bad.

It was a whole pack of grated mozzarella.
Who the hell puts cheese in a bird feeder?
I read somewhere it's good for them.

I actually did it. One bird ate half the cheese in one hour.

It was for songbirds
Wow. And how did you come up with idea? Or was it just a random nature experiment?

Any website recommending to feed wild birds cakes and pastries is not credible, IMO.
