What 鸓 means
The early Chinese dictionary 《说文解字》 records 䴎 for an animal that flies, looks like a mouse, and nurses its young. Another dictionary, 《广韵》, links 鸓 with 飞生 and 鼯鼠, names for a flying squirrel.
The Chinese book Classic of Mountains and Seas (《山海经》) describes 鸓 at a mountain called 翠山 as a red and black bird with two heads and four legs that withstands fire.
Classical and dictionary usage; its source decides which animal is meant.
Without the source, don't choose an animal.

1Why does 鸓 show as a box on some devices?
Because that device's fonts have no glyph for it. The character is still correct and still copies correctly — the box is a missing glyph, not a broken character.
