There's a class of onomatopoeic roots *kVr- which designate several types of birds.
For example, Aragonese garza, Catalan garça, Italian gazza 'magpie' < *karkea is an Italoid loanword from PIE *ḱarhk-eh2- 'magpie' (Lithuanian šárka, Russian soróka)1, akin to Turkic *KArga 'crow' and PNC *q’q’HVrVq’V 'a k. of bird (magpie; eagle-owl)'.
The homonymous Spanish garza 'heron'2 is a loanword from Celtic *kor(x)sā 'heron, crane', probably through a Cantabrian intermediate *karsa. A similar root can be found in Latin ardea 'heron' < PIE *h1orhd-eh2- 'heron', akin to Turkic *Kordaj 'pelican; swan'.
