Birdies
I have been thinking and yes it does hurt, but I was thinking that since there are many types of eagles, falcons, hawks, swans, etc, which kind of sparrow would G4 be and then I thought about trying to find out which type of eagle, condor, swan, sparrow and owl that the team could have been based on .
So here's the results of my investigation.
G1 - Mountain Hawk-eagle or Stellar's Sea Eagle
G2 - Californa Condor - This is the only one with similar colours as Joe.
G3 - Bewick's swan
G4 - Japnese Sparrowhawk
G5 - Blakiston's Fish-owl

Very interesting, Met. I think you made good choices.
Condors look beautiful when in flight, but I hadn't realized just how ugly their heads really are until I looked at the pictures in the link -what was Joe thinking?
LOL... my DD did a project in school about endangered animals and she chose the California Condor... she was so proud to show it to me on Open House night! Wonder why? It was like our own secret joke!

Jinpei is meant to be a swallow though, not a sparrow.

I would be interested in why Met chose those varieties over others.
I had thought of something different for the Swan.
Eagle - I had not really done much of a search but had always thought of a larger variety.
Jinpei, I think of as a Swallow with his forked tail
Ryu, I had thought of as something more common for him like a barn owl or Hoot Owl, (considering I am N.A.)

Ah, but does it have the same interest as collecting bugs as pets.

Actually no, it doesn't eats bugs. I just checked and the Japanese sparrow-hawk collects birds while in lfight for it's lunch.

Back in the '70's watching BotP I figured out that Mark was an Eagle, Keyop a Swallow and Tiny was a Horned Owl...though I've never seen any green/orangey owls...maybe those were his favorite colours...
I pictured Princess first as a Dove and then a Swan after seeing the sequence where the team is silouetted or rather their shadows are casted as birds against the wall as they fly down. It was then that I noticed her shadow had a long neck...'that don't look like no Dove' my 12 year old brain concluded, so she was either a Swan or a Goose. And that made more sense to me because I knew personally from visiting Grandma's hen-house, how nasty and vicious a goose could be. (Yes, I was beaten up by a bird!) Not that I don't think Springie's Dove couldn't kick ass!
I had no clue that G2 was a Condor. I just figured he was another kind of Eagle or Falcon, some kind of bird of prey. But I did think that Mark's white birdstyle vs. Jason's darker colours meant or represented something and was tied to their personalities somehow, like yin/yang, Good Cop/Bad Cop'. Oh how little did I know...

Watching BOTP as a kid, I was aware that Tiny was meant to be an owl, and that Mark and Jason's visors were shaped like birds of prey, but I never went any further than that, that I can recall.
My memories of BOTP are, sadly, very patchy, but the two episodes that I can distinctly recall are Galaxy Girls and Race Against Disaster -both prominently featuring Jason, go figure.
