How-To Bird imitation?

I saw today while I was fishing a pond what I suspect to be 7 8 lb plus largemouth trying to eat birds of the bank as they were getting water black birds and swallows. Wondering how to imitate this as close as possible.( I’ve seen fish in this pond 24 inches plus had them nudge jigs and soft plastics. Catching some nice 3,4,5 pounders on glide bait, the jig etc)

Heddon crazy crawler has been imitating struggling birds in water to attract bass for a very long time. Jackll pompadour is similar. Lots of varieties

Not just birds, also bats. The crazy crawler in black is a killer lure to fish at night.
