Here is an article that talks about ZAP and whether or not they make for an effective safety symbol.

In the 1980โ€™s, a communication supervisor at Ontario Hydro (Hydro One) created a campaign featuring a cartoon bird named, โ€œZAP the Safety Birdโ€. Designed as a safety initiative aimed at keeping children aware and safe from electrical hazards, ZAP is also typically found on hazard labels in Canada.

In the safety campaign, ZAP was a pelican with a red ball cap worn backwards, flying overhead spotting electrical hazards and flying down to warn children before they were injured.

here's a reference to them, though I don't remember them looking like that. I'll keep digging

Yeah, that's all I can find. I remember mine being white and looking more like Zap than a ageneric bird

Mine were recycled many moons ago, but I'll see what I can find.
