:
I always like to capitalise, and usually do when talking about different species, like Stickleback etc.
I believe that the 'birds' and 'bats' references are not capitalised as they are not referring to a specific species, but the word is used as a generalisation ('bears' 'cats' etc.), whereas Ratz is known to refer to a specific species ('Black Rat' 'Brown Bear' etc.), and so should be capitialised.

Sticklebacks aren’t a single species.
