Interesting fact that most people will probably know anyway:
Pelican crossing was called so because it was originally a pelicon crossing - PEdestrian LIght CONtrolled crossing.

Working in the industry...
I'm not sure about the origin of puffins - I see below someone else has posted the real name of the equestrian crossing, so there's only the Toucan left. They're the ones with combined pedestrian and bike signals. So-called, because two can cross.
I never claimed it was funny.
