If/when another bird-file is made, we can address this issue.  Part names
are pretty easy to change.[1]

If a DUPLO-scale part was ever made, there's a very good chance that it
would be named something like "DUPLO Animal Bird".

Yep, same mold.

It's possible, but not necessary at this point.  There are really only two
bird-files possible at this point:

Animal Bird
Animal Bird with Parrot Pattern

There's not much room for confusion.

1) In descending order of ease-of-change, the things that can be changed on
a part file:

1. The DAT code
2. The part name (and other header information)
3. The part number (AKA, file name)
4. The orientation/positioning of the part

#1 and #2 are more-or-less tied, depending on the situation.  #3 requires
some research.  At this time, #4 can never change after the part is
released.
