"A bird took off from the tree."
This would be more correct. Alternatively the first option.

Neither of those is correct (for American English). These are closest:
“A bird flew out of the tree.” Implication: it was hidden in the tree. You didn’t see it. When it flew out, it surprised you. You are drawing our attention to where the bird came from, not where it’s going.
“A bird flew away from the tree.” Implication: while you may have been surprised by the bird, what really struck you was the path it took through the sky as it left.

Like Dunc0ne said, "took off from the tree" is good and you could also say "flew from the tree."
However, I personally know other Americans who would word things exactly the way you did. I love grammar and language (I'm a bit of a nerd), but I'd be lying if I said that the difference would really matter when speaking in real life. It doesn't really matter. Yes, the examples Dunc0ne and I gave are "more proper", but yours still sound like something I'd hear people say on a regular basis. :)
