I refined FixedFun's mascot design for Kbin. Thoughts? Feedback? (More pics/alts in post!)

I really loved @FixedFun 's idea for the kbin mascot, so I decided to refine it a bit and make some color alternatives. All credit to them for this wonderful idea! I merely refined it. Note, the circles beside the logo are just a color pallete swatch, not actually meant to be apart of the logo.
Here is some alternatives as well as a phone screen mockup
Here is Fun's next to mine
As the kbird, maybe his name could be Ben, or Bin, or Binny the bird? Binjamin is pretty hilarious
details: font is poppins. program is adobe illustrator.
UPDATE: Thoughts on this one?

though it does stand out more, i felt like adding a stroke makes it look more unrelated and pasted on if that makes sense? like someone took a random bird icon and threw it on a gradient bg. so i wanted it to feel a little bit more integrated. i dont mind the stroke as much as i thought upon seeing your version, tho. i added a stroke to mine just to see and i dont think its too bad
This stroke looks way better enlarged but the thinner parts aren't really visible when shrunk down to phone home screen size. It's hard to find something that works well everywhere :(
what do you think about this? i tried to get rid of the parallel lines
