Oooh, nice! I'll pick our mascot's animal inspiration.

How about a sparrow - to be specific, a house sparrow? They're little birdies found all over the world, in cities, on a hedge and many other places. More likely than not this mascot  has seen the diversity of humanity all under the guise of a bird whose species has already done so.

Besides, I can't recall many canon bird mascots - they seem to be mostly mammals.
