I think it's worth noting the currency term 'peso' for the money used in a lot of former spanish colonies, directly translated, means 'weight'. For example there's a famous mexican singer of recent who goes by 'peso pluma' and it means featherweight, like the boxing classification, not as much to do with money

It could very well be a pun to do with how he gets money, though. Wiki says he makes narco music, and bird references are common to drug slang in both US English and (Mexican) Spanish.
