IMO if a pokemon looks like a bird it should be a bird and when it doesn't look like anything it should be just a pokemon.
If we defined bird as a creature with two legs, wings, feathers and a beak (and also applicable for hybrids so that gryphon gets this tag) then it would be a bird.
If we defined a mammal as a creature with fur or soft, dry skin (like humans, hairless cats, naked mole-rats), then eevee would be a mammal, it has fur:

)
In the cases where it's not clear in their canon form, don't imply it.a
If someone draws eevee as not having fur or pidgey as not having feathers or a beak, delete the tag in the same way the "pony" tag gets deleted on unicorns and pegasi that look like full-sized horses and not MLP ponies.
