Seeing this one fully grown now, I'm thinking it might be based on a Bearded Vulture, although they don't have dark heads, so I'm not entirely certain 🤔

I think this one is a Great Crested Grebe!

Ooh, yeah, that one looks much more accurate!

Edit:
New day, new pig growth!

There's quite a few birds I found that look similar, but aren't quite right 🤔 Nonetheless, I'll mention them below -
Magpie Lark
White-Browed Wagtail
Goldeneye (duck)
Dovekie
White-Bellied Tit
I don't think any of them are the right bird, but who knows 😂

Meanwhile, back to this pig

I had the random thought of a Wilson's Snipe, and while I don't think it looks that similar to an adult, it does look fairly similar to the chick 🤔

On the guinea pig guess train, I'm not totally sure about this one because the back of the real bird is plain brown and not fully spotted, but doing some idle googling on this guy landed me on a possible guess of the painted firetail finch! They look somewhat similar, but I'm not sure if it's exact a match enough for me to feel very confident in this guess lol. Just felt like throwing my guess out there anyway.

Oh, I like this guess! I was thinking some sort of speckled chicken breed like a Speckled Sussex, but without knowing for sure what the precise theme is for this litter other than the obvious "birds" it's probably more likely something non-captive like that finch.

Hmm, I like your thinking of the brown one being a chick. It reminds me a lot of an emu chick.

I'm almost wondering if the theme is 'Birds that can be found in/around Australia' 🤔

Of the ones we know for sure, or feel fairly confident about, there's

the Great Crested Grebe, which has a subspecies found in Australia

the Rainbow Bee-Eater, which is found in Australia

and the Sacred Kingfisher, which is my guess for this one, which is also found in Australia

Gorgeous! ♥

With this idea in mind, here's some new bird guesses!

Freckled Duck

Magnificent Riflebird (Or Paradise Riflebird, which looks very similar)

Pied Honeyeater

The eye colors don't match up on all of them, so I'm still not 100% sure, but I feel pretty good about these guesses 👀

Oh man I think you're on to something with these, the duck and the honeyeater especially match up so well. The honeyeater even seems to have the matching white wing bars!
