Explanation:

The passage we are analyzing here clearly states that it is because of the birds that the bushes seem to be dancing:

<em>[...] and the bushes fairly danced with birds.</em>

<em>[...] as the small gray birds hopped on the swaying branches.</em>

Why does the author use the word "dancing" to describe the movement of the branches, then? This is a technique called personification. Bushes cannot dance but, by saying so, the author conveys the idea that the way the bushes are moving is beautiful, rhythmic, hypnotizing, just like dancing.
