There's two of them: The Sand Bird and the Red Coin Fish. Only...how can they exist? The Sand Bird is make out of sand blocks and nothing else. Yet it is able to fly elegantly, and even lay an egg with a baby sand bird inside. Also, the floating coins on it float with the bird as it flies. The Red Coin Fish is made out of red and yellow coins that somehow swim together as one creature, and often scatter, only to form again. The coins are completely independent of each other, however; the fish can still swim just as well with coins missing.
So how can these two creatures move about, and even exist, if they are made up of nothing but inanimate objects?

Plenty of things in the MK are made of inanimate objects. The sand bird can probably be considered more of an elemental creature, which there are plenty of examples of.
The coin fish is a little harder to explain. I'm guessing it was never really a fish, but just a bunch of coins in the shape of one.

But then there's also the issue of how those coins seem to move together as a fish does, only to scatter all over and then reform in the exact same postion.

Sand blocks are not aerodynamic and should just fall down. And how can it continue to think, lay eggs, or do any of the other things necessary for life if it has no organs and loses the sand blocks so easily. |

There is plenty of sand in Isle Delphino I think the Sand Bird just didn't want Mario on it and so it disintigrated itself, and would probably get more sand to refill its disintigrated parts

I'm not asking why it would do it or where the sand would come from; I'm asking how could it live being made out of nothing but sand?

Either it has internal organs or it is created by magic

It doesn't have internal organs. You can tell by it dissolving and there being nothing there.
Magic is the easy way out, but the natives treat it very much as a natural creature; they built a huge shrine to honor it, and the name of the mission is "The Legendary Sand Bird." I doubt it was made by anything; otherwise, they wouldn't give it the same respect.

Maybe it is a natural creature, but it appears in the form of a bird so as to not scare the locals with its true image

I'd go with elemental creature. and for the coins, that could easily be magic.
