is this enough? Little rough ways but when you will give it more care it will look better I made it just for preview

I made custom shape with basic round brush (add spaces and size dynamics) then I made straight line and save it as new brush. Then opened image with bird (erase background), duplicate and choose Smudge tool then choose your custom brush, make a little adjustments with size and angle and make straight smudge (with shift key) then erase the body of bird (we need only that smudge) and give it 75% opacity... you can play with it more ofcourse

That is the hardest way to do it.

Just use the single row marque tool to select a single row of pixels, copy and paste to a new layer, stretch that layer out as long as you need it, put a mask on the layer so you can blend it into the bird.

Thats not the same thing. The one in my picture almost looks like some of the lines are raised a tad. Especially at the end.

Spill the beans PLEASE!

That's because the one in the OP has the bird drawn with fine lines with gaps of white in the colour scheme the way the bird is drawn is more sharp leaving crisp definition between the colours. Meaning that when the colours are stretched off the bird it leaves a bigger variant of colours along the line (it goes green, black, green, black, white, green, white, green white etc) where the one I used in >>256898
is less sharp and the colours are blurred together more, which leaves the streaks to be more similar in colour (red red red red white red red black etc)
