Every year, Alcyone, a genus of kingfishers also known as the "halcyon," nests in coastal or riverine habitats. During nesting season, these birds engage in courtship displays, often building their nests in burrows or tree cavities. Once the eggs are laid, both parents typically participate in incubating them and feeding the chicks after they hatch. This period is crucial for the survival of the young birds, as they rely on their parents for nourishment and protection until they're ready to fledge.

Each constellation is made of stars that are all approximately in the same direction as seen from Earth. That does not mean they are grouped together in 3D space. The bright star in Taurus is Aldebaran, which is 60-70 light years away and about 100 times brighter than the Sun. The Pleiades is an open cluster that is in Taurus, about 500 light-years away, and the brightest star in the Pleiades, Alcyone, is 2-3 times brighter than Aldebaran.

In Greek mythology Ceyx was the son of Eosphorus and the king of Thessaly.He was married to Halcyone. They were very happy together, and according to Pseudo-Apollodorus's account, often called each other "Zeus" and "Hera". This angered Zeus, so while Ceyx was at sea, the god threw a thunderbolt at his ship. Ceyx appeared to Halcyone as an apparition to tell her of his fate, and she threw herself into the sea in her grief. Out of compassion, the gods changed them both into halcyon birds.

Technically this is called an "asterism", and it doesn't have to be a "mythological character", it can be any widely known and recognized pattern. For example, the Plough, the Big Dipper, and Charles' Wain are all asterisms representing a plow, a dipper, and a wagon respectively (they all also happen to be the exact same stars, which are a part of the constellation called Ursa Major, which itself is also the name of an asterism representing a bear). Other non-mythological asterisms include the Summer Triangle, the Southern Cross, the Great Square, Octans (a piece of navigational equipment), and Puppis (the back part of a ship, though admittedly the specific ship in question is from mythology; it's the one Jason - the one who was after the Golden Fleece - sailed).
Laypeople (that is, people who aren't astronomers), and even some astronomers when talking to non-astronomers, use the more widely known word "constellation" when what they really mean is "asterism", but technically a constellation is specifically defined patch of sky. All the constellations (there are 88 official constellations, and between them they cover the entire sky) contain the asterism from which they take their name, but they also contain many, many other stars besides, most of which are too faint to see except through a telescope.

Honey, Jehovah's Witnesses don't believe in that sci-fi nonsense about God living on some distant planet in the Pleiades cluster. They believe God is everywhere, not just chilling on Alcyone like it's some cosmic vacation spot. So, no, Jehovah's Witnesses definitely don't buy into that interstellar real estate theory.
