Why are there so many Bird themed heroes in the DC universe? There is always some Bird themed hero without the League, Society, Titans and Batman.

Sure it looks like a lot when you do it like that.

Hawkman is the O.G. bird themed hero. Hawkgirl is an extension of that franchise.
Hawk and Dove represent war and peace. It's a term from America's Vietnam War era politics.
Black Canary is rooted in 1940s slang. How criminals would "sing like a canary". She was a villain.

Oh and Raven isn't bird themed. Or wasn't till Brett Booth happened.
Robin is half the time, but the other half they go with the original Robin Hood origin.

The Hawks are the only ones that are actually bird themed, the rest just have bird names.
