Kind of reminds me of Cornelia Funke's The Griffin's Feather. In that book griffins typically have lion coloring and plumage that matches the desert. However, the first heroic griffin is noted for having parrot-like plumage and fur more like that of an Indonesian wildcat. Of course, griffins in that book also have snakes for tails...
