Mot often a symbol or animal of Hades refers to a myth he is featured within.
3 headed dog
Hades doesn't have a bird. His symbols are the sceptre, the three-headed dog, Cerebus, and the cornucopia.
I would say Cerberus. But, he is fond of black animals.
The Greek God Poseidon's animal was the horse. He created the horse and in accompany Athena created the carriage and so forth for the first time Athena and Poseidon both worked together and created the horse and carriage.
Hermes as the driver of animal herds also became the god who drove or guided the souls of the dead to Hades. In the myth of the abduction of Persephone, he was sent by Zeus to fetch the goddess back from Hades, and was thereafter appointed as the Guide of Dead Souls.
The screech owl is considered the sacred animal of Hades due to its association with death and the underworld in ancient mythology. Its haunting call and nocturnal habits symbolize the mysteries of the night and the afterlife, aligning with Hades' realm. Additionally, the owl's ability to see in darkness reflects the idea of wisdom and insight into the hidden aspects of existence, making it a fitting emblem for the god of the underworld.

Hades's animal according to Greek Mythology was a three headed dog that guards the entrance to Hades's abode and prevents those unfortunate souls that have crossed the River Styx from escaping. This awkward yet cool creature is called Cerberus and is believed to be related to the Hydra and the Chimera. Cerberus has a heavy appetite for meat thus he freely allows souls to enter the Underworld but none to leave......epic.
Zeus, Poseidon and Hades divided the world between them, and this is what Hades got.
Hades the god was in charge of hades the underworld.
