10/10 would recommend to a hawk

Intelligence 2. He'll be a fun familiar... 

If you think about carrying capacity rules, then 5*15=75, /2 because it's a tiny beast, and the Hawk's carrying capacity is 37.5 pounds... Aerial Battle hammer, anyone?

If it had flyby, then it's be a good contestant to the owl, but alas, it does not, despite the fact that it has higher dex.

Would be my base familiar choice...a hunter to capture food for survival, commonly scene everwhere, even towns purched on a rooftop or temple.  It can track to see if you're being followed or help you chase down a foe from a safe altitude (ghetto bird), an excellent outdoor scout, even drone flying overhead to warn you of danger in your travels. 

Can it carry a coconut?

Well as stated above it can carry more than 37lbs so unless your coconut has lead inside it, I would say yes

 Hehe was actually a Monty Python joke, so rhetorical question. But if an actual hawk can fly while carrying 37 lbs I am incredibly impressed.

I get risky with my hawk.  I have it fly up to an enemy and use dodge.  Sure, it's a gamble, but imposing disadvantage on melee enemies has been pretty successful so far!

Good question

No, but I think an african swallow could.

Can you use the Help action next to an enemy, then fly 60ft up to safety, or do you need to remian within 5ft for the "Help" to take effect?

The Grung race weighs 30 pounds on average.... You could make your familiar carry you around 0_0

You could, but that would also provoke an opportunity attack, so hawk might get got.
