Toothless is an animal, given human characteristics. Quintel has given a person (and by "person", I believe he really means "human") the "shape of a bird". He appears to shy away from the concept of a 'real' bird who is also a person.
This is what people mean when they say "humans in furry suits". Rigby at least has a concession to animal nature, but even there the artist admits that this is merely "because it looks pretty cool".
