Some bird symbolism

(Note: these are general, as birds have different meanings given to them by different cultures.)

Crows and ravens- Associated with Odin and wisdom in Norse mythology. Most often associated with night, death, and mourning. Seen as a bad omen (see crow/magpie rhyme)

Magpie- Playfulness, cunning, the trickster. A lone magpie is a bad omen (see crow/ magpie rhyme)

Pelican- Nurturing and self sacrifice

Geese- Traditional: Vigilance, protection, watchfulness. Modern: Chaos and assholery

Phoenix- Immortality, fire, the sun. The cycle of life, death, and rebirth

Pigeon- Traditional: Peace, prosperity. Modern: Uncleanliness, urban decay, the inner city

Albatross- Grace, good luck, the spirit of dead sailors (if only the Ancient Mariner knew before he took the shot)

Falcon- Speed, nobility, associated with the sun and seen as the protector of the pharaoh in ancient Egypt

Vulture- Death and decay. Western cultures perceive the vulture as evil. The Egyptians saw it as a protector, and many other cultures associate it with cleansing and holiness.

Eagle- Strength, nobility, patriotism. A two-headed eagle represents the ruler’s authority through both church and state

Swan- Grace, beauty, fidelity. Irish folklore sees the swan as the spirit of dead women and associated with the sea god Lir

Owl- Knowledge and wisdom to the ancient Greeks and Romans. Celtic Britain sees it as the outcast; hated by other birds and only able to fly at night. Otherwise associated with night, mystery, and death.

Personally, I think I would evolve into a Jolteon. Not just because they are my favorite eeveelution rn, but because their Pokedex entries describe their emotions as well. Plus, midnight zoomies are real and I feel them. Just me:
