Mmm. But whereas various English words like "nice" and "naughty" have drifted considerably in meaning over the centuries, in this case it might simply be that "צִפּוֹר" doesn't translate exactly as "bird"?
Though I admit I wouldn't be at all surprised to learn that "bird" had also included bats at some point in the history of the English language…
