Birds and the Khmu:

     The Khmuic people of Laos from what I have researched do not have anything specific in common, nor any specific special meaning. The only thing I came across was that during the New Year Celebration the people of Laos will sometimes buy birds in cages and then set them free to celebrate the incoming year ; there is a video link below. There are hundreds of birds located in Laos and the region of the Khmu. To list a few there are the Black Bitterns, Purple Herons, Eastern Great Egrets, Painted Stork, Garganey, Short-toed Snake Eagle, Besra, Amur Falcon, Red Junglefowl, Wood Snipe, and many more: Birds of Laos. There is also a section in Laos devoted to preservation known as Phou Khao Khouay National Protected Area which is displayed in the first video below.
