Hi Dursun,
Assuming you were successful in loading in the Level II radar the "CAPPI" 
display
provides a Constant Altitude Plan Position view of the data. See:
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/support/help/MailArchives/idv/msg00944.html

Not sure what you mean by birds eye. The default viewpoint for a display is 
overhead. You can of course tilt, zoom, pan, etc.
