Ornipomorphism?


We know that anthropomorphism refers to projecting human characteristics or traits onto something that's not human.  But what's the term for projecting bird characteristics onto something that's not a bird?

These massive cranes (above, not right) are seen from the LIE offramp from the BQE. I'm guessing they belong to APA Restoration Corporation, listed in the yellow pages as Dock Builders. But, in keeping with BTB's Operating Principle #1: Never get off the BQE to investigate, I can't know for sure.
