Birds and Their "Meanings" What's Your Thought?

I came across a web-page that discussed the symbolism of certain birds.* And I thought HT readers might find that the author's (Buzzle) perspectives, interesting points to ponder.
Buzzle included over fifty bird types and I've provided a link to his page, but for purposes of sharing the info here on HT, a place that sets photo sharing limits, I will just include pictures of bird types that I have encountered in my garden; at the beach; down by the riverside; or in my succulent garden as well as my armoire.
And I'll do so in alphabetical order of a given bird type, as that is the way the author whose page I'm referencing, set up his information.

Buzzle claims that
Her type is often dismissed due to what ornithologists call "dull coloring."
We hope to have it available in mid December and will provide details on HT and other cyber platforms when the time comes.
However, this does not mean she hasn't grappled with issues of being dismissed due to her "dull coloring."
Buzzle states the following about chickadees:
This crow couple happened to be well read as evidenced by a discussion they had about a stanza from one of Macbeth's speeches:***
Growing up near in The Fox River Valley (Illinois), I've met many a tame duck, but I've NEVER seen one preening, such as the one pictured here is doing.
I took this photo this past summer (2014) and featured it on TLLG's FB Page (@ https://www.facebook.com/TheLastLeafGardener/photos/a.355589574490422.73015.247917655257615/699311966784846/?type=1).
I'm not to familiar with ravens other than the references in Edgar Allan Poe's poem. However, at this time, the raven pictured here is visiting my indoor succulent garden.
Buzzle's conclusion about the symbolism of sandpipers is this:
My image of a seagull strutting his/her stuff was taken in Kismet, a town in Fire Island New York. My writings about this bird can be found on Blogger @ http://www.thelastleafgardener.com/search/label/Seagulls
I have a number of pictures featuring this bird type on my Pinterest boards @ http://www.pinterest.com/thellgardener/house-sparrows-in-my-urban-nyc-garden/
In any event, these turkeys know they are safe with me since I don't eat meat, pork or fowl.
