Even if Radagast had a special affinity for birds and plants and what-not, Men and Elves are the children of Iluvatar and any regard for the well being of birds and plants whould have to be tempered, if not all out focused through, a regard for men and elves. If Sauron recovered the ring Radagast's precious interests would have been destroyed. His focus shifted from the eternal to the temporal. Sauraman's focus shifted to the temporal as well, although his choices were for self preservation and power, had he succeeded he still would have come to a bad end eventually. as a maiar he should have known that as well or better than anyone.
Radagast, although not a "bad" guy in a wordly sense, was a terible wizard.
