Fantasy counterpart cultures with bird species

I'm writing a Mature Animal Story set in a world of anthro birds, revised from notes i made long ago. The story deals with politics, racism, war, religion, terrorism, all that stuff. I mainly picked the species for the areas of the world they live in, and the stereotypes associated with them.

• Magpies are Roma (They also get outright called that) and vultures are jewish^note  Because the species' are associated with similiar stereotypes as the ethnicities, and Eurasian vultures seem to be largely middle eastern.
• White storks and corvuses^note  Corvuses are nazis specifically, i think i was making a reference to this[1] [2] [3] are white people.
  • Originally i was going to use blackbirds in the place of corvuses, but learned their latin name was "turdus" and had trouble taking it seriously^note And didn't really want the audience to find it funny. They were blackbirds because the protagonist was a magpie-blackbird hybrid, but i don't think it works with ravens because magpie's and raven's colorings are too similiar...
• African openbills are generically black people.^note After learning there were, in addition to white storks in Europe, actual black storks in Africa, the opportunity was too good to pass up
• Kiwis are maori.
• Siberian jays are sami people.
• Puffins are greenland inuits and/or also sami.
• Turkeys are native americans.
• I should propably come up with something to represent arabs because i have an entire story arc set in the middle east.

I also have the slight problem of having designed a few major and almost all background characters as species not mentioned (Like seagull, duck, barn owl, western capercaillie, and Rock Ptarmigan) and not standing for anything specific. Do you think it would stick out badly if i left them as they are?
