Canary [Serinus and Crithagra and others): social birds, gathering to feed on seeds from flora and the ground. Sometimes bugs and plants. The males of the species sing (as geared to courtship), and are considered more valuable. Experiments in space using canaries failed—they need gravity to swallow.

Yellow canary (Crithagra flaviventris): a small finch from west and central southern Africa.
Domestic canary (Serinus canaria domestica): a popular pet in various forms, colors, shapes. Canary yellow. Even red.

Latin (balbus, stammering). Norse (Sula, used as the Genus name, actually means Gannet). Possibly Spanish (bobo, stupid).
Booby (Sula): large seabirds similar to but different from Gannets (and even more different than Albatross/Gooney Birds). Dive into the sea to pursue and catch fish. Breed in large colonies on coasts and islands. Known for their courtship displays. Peaceful, to the point of regularly alighting on ships at sea and becoming dinner in older times. Led to (sometimes true) tales of shipwrecked sailors surviving on them—witness William Bligh of the Bounty and crew left adrift by mutineer Fletcher Christian and the rest.

Miscellaneous
You know my approach is book and film. Here’s what I got so far. On teats.
Teat - tēt/ - noun
1. the nipple of a milk-producing female mammary gland (any mammal)
2. a reasonable facsimile (of definition 1)
Middle English (precedes "tit"). Old French (tete). Likely Germanic origins (those Germans!). Latin (mamma, mamilla, uber, udder, papilla, sumen).
1. a large wading bird
Old French (hairon, or eron, older hairo). Frankish (haigiro). Germanic (haigrô, hraigrô).
Heron (Ardeidae): Heron refers to the overarching group of birds but also includes Egrets (usually white or having feathered plumes) and Bitterns (smaller, stockier). They have long legs, a long beak, with a neck that shapes an “S” and is pulled back in flight (different from a Stork or a Crane’s outstretched neck, for example). Feed on fish, small animals, shellfish, insects. Practice stealth, stillness, and patience in catching food. Social, monogomaous. Males build the nest and use it to attract a mate. Earned the name shitepoke (or shikepoke, or shypoke) for their tendency to empty their bowels when startled.
