It is true that glukkons evolved from an octopus-like creature but that dosn't mean that that creature wasn't also slightly birdlike. Don't some giant squid have beaks? That would be a start. Then give the creature some feathery down on its "head". Evolution would eventually remove the feathers (useless in water) and become more octopus than bird. This would be the case for the majority of the octigi family. The glukkons would have gone a slighty different rought, becoming more bird-like (the heron-gluck) and then more like their octopus relaives.
I like my theory. Shame I can't convince anyone it could work.
