I noticed that some of the Irions have bird-like front limbs where others have normal legs and paws; has anyone else noticed this? XD

Does anyone know why this is, are the other images simply older? Is there any plan to update them in the future?

It's because of the recent revamp. The newer Irions have bird-like front feet, while the older, non-revamped ones have mammal-like feet.

Oh yeah, I figured that might be the case! Thanks ! Has it been said if they have any plans to change the other pet images in the future?

Oh thanks so much ! It might be a bit of a wait but I'm sure the updates will be marvelous. :) The irion really does look better with bird-like front legs, don't you think?

Haha, well everyone's entitled to their preferences. :P I like the regal "gryphon"-like look myself but I can see how the other one could be just as nice, just needs some spiffed up artwork.
