Tzipporah nn Tzipi doesn't feel terrible serious to me. The Z spelling is more common in English, but I like that the Tz version is more accurate to how it sounds. It doesn't seem particularly serious to me. Tzvi (Zvi if you like the Z spellings better) would be pretty matchy. Yonah/Jonah would keep with the language family and bird meaning. Colombo would also work with the bird meaning and Robin even more obviously so.

I was actually considering Zipporah and Jonah for the bird combo! But I thought it would be weird since I'm not Jewish

I might find it a little strange at first since I don't know non-Jews named Tzipporah, but I don't think it is bad or offensive. I can't speak for other Jewish people, but Jonah especially doesn't feel exclusively Jewish. I care more about pronunciation I think, which is more because I think the correct pronunciation sounds nicer.

I wouldn't worry about it being, lots of people use those names without the Jewish connection
