Can you change the flash suppressor on an Armalite AR15 to the "birdcage" type, like on the Colt AR15? Is the Armalite even removable? Thank you!

  it depends on the type. if it is a post ban gun, prolly not. i good gunsmith can do it though. if legal. if it is pre ban, yes, it is threaded on.

  Osage.... As previously mentioned, yes it can be changed on a pre-ban gun, but the post bans have the flash hider permanently attached.
  
  If you put on the bird cage type you will need a peel washer to line up the part properly. If it is enclosed on the bottom, you will want to line up the enclosed section facing down for it to work properly.
  
  Remember, if it is a post-ban rifle, you may not legally put on a flash hider.
