I always thought the reason they never referred to them by species, was just PC-ness. Mordo ain't the only avianoid in Regular World, it'd probs be weird just calling him a "bird dude" or something like that. And while their species doesn't define their personalities, they still are the animals they are as Pops' hallucination version of Mordecai was a giant blue jay....unless all the characters designs are just Pops' hallucinations which I could totally buy.
