How stealth aircraft hull design helps reduce radar footprint?

As the title says. Also, how actually effective is the radar footprint reduction? I’ve heard that a radar might register a stealth aircraft as a bird and not a plane, which makes no sense at all.

Think of it this way. A radar that would see a normal aircraft at 50 miles, can’t see stealth until it’s within 10 miles. This is by no means a fact, but a simple way to visualize.

Now imagine you’re flying through a web, or mosaic of overlapping radars. Because of the reduced range detection, you can navigate between all of those sensors without being detected.
