I'm not sure "dofollow" will do the trick, I think it's only a "return to formation" type o' thing, that is, it only works for units in the same group.
Hence to eversman :
a simple way could be to create a trigger :
condition : (mybird distance player)>150
activation : mybird domove getpos player
that way you'd create a loop compelling the loons to follow you;
As to Q2 :
if you're speaking about Radio Alphas, the 0-0-x, use setradiomsg :
In a trigger :
condition : !(alive myguy)
activation : 0 setradiomsg "null"
