marcicatSomeone on tumblr linked this article, which is a Very Fun Read, and my apologies that I don't have the tumblr username to acknowledge.
The article is way better without ads, so I highly recommend doing the reader view thing:
It’s One of the Weirdest Mistakes in Movie History. I Spent Months Investigating How It All Went Wrong., by Forrest Wickman
To summarize: The bird in this scene does not live where it’s supposed to, look like it’s supposed to, or sound like it’s supposed to. To put this in terms of mammals, it’s as if a two-toed sloth climbed up to Bill Murray’s window, howled like some unknown species of canine, and Cameron Diaz identified the howl as a sea otter, saying that sea otters live in only one place on Earth: Carmel, California.
