The general opinion is that the appearance of Miraculous/Kwami is symbolic rather then literal.

After all, Duusu is female, but doesn't look anything like a peahen.

I think they just take on the most recognizable aspects of the species they represent and ignore gender specific rules.

But from a design point of view, I think they just want the Miraculous holders and their Kwamis to be as vibrant as possible, visually speaking. Cat Noir and Hawkmoth don't seem to follow this rule though, they're a fair bit lacking in bright colors.
