Ha ha ha,
Those are my mugs, I mean literally they are my mugs, at leat the one on the left still is mine. I sold the darker green one a few months back. I got them off ebay (w/o a 'buy now' for once or twice, lucky me) and I too have tried to get to the bottom of this before...no luck.

I have seen "paddle licker" and "paddle sucker" used to describe them. I always called this one a paddle licker, his tongue is ticking out! The other versions, to me at least, is a paddle sucker:

Notice the slight difference in the body...his tummy is bigger. They are great mugs, a real classic IMO. My efforts to score the "sucker" version have yet to be successful.

Are they are bird, is that a knife, is is what is left after he bites it? Where is Leonard Nimoy...we must go in search of answers.
