The quoted rules are for Animal Companions. None of them apply to familiars in any way.
As a minor houserule and to simplify things - throw out the entire base animal stat block and never look at it again later.
You only use the Familiar stat rules. Any abilities that you want the Familiar to have have to be paid for with Familiar abilities. Nothing comes for free.
Benefit, you can make your familiar any shape that you want it to look like. Much like an Eidolon.
Or you can just make adjustments to the type so you only have to pay for what you want to pay for
Don't want to buy Fast Movement Flight - make it a chook or a turkey. They don't fly well.
Don't want to buy Fly - a dodo or a kiwi is an option
There is a school of thought that the Kitsune's pet rock familiar is the best one. It really depends on what you want to do with it.
For familiars throw everything you know about the animal away. Apply the familiar stats.
I don't find the stat of familiar, ca, size, and the hit point I trove pag 217. But For, Des, Cos, Int, Sag, Car, special abilities? I can't find.
The bird animal companion is a massive, super-powered bird. It's definitely not a base animal anyway.
A Small bird is not the same as a small bird. That's size rank Small, which is a pretty dang big bird.
He has a tiny?

They don't exist. Familiars don't have those things that aren't in the familiar rules at all. You don't find them anywhere.
Modifiers and AC
Your familiar’s save modifiers and AC are equal to yours before applying circumstance or status bonuses or penalties. Its Perception, Acrobatics, and Stealth modifiers are equal to your level plus your spellcasting ability modifier (Charisma if you don’t have one, unless otherwise specified). If it attempts an attack roll or other skill check, it uses your level as its modifier. It doesn’t have or use its own ability modifiers and can never benefit from item bonuses.

I'm the 5th level familiar on the attack has +5? It's low... I ask you to excuse me.

Also keep in mind Striking (the normal attack action) is something familiars can't do at all, so yes, that is low but also rarely relevant.
CA I'm wizzard 12 in AC. Familiar 12+tiny (+4 or +2)?
(Thanks you, I don't find :))
Yes, size having built-in numerical modifiers is a 1E thing. I would double check that wizard's AC, though. You would have to have 8 DEX to have AC that low at level 1. Are you forgetting to include your unarmored proficiency, which would be +3 at level 1?

Yes familiars are pathetic in combat. They are just there for minor bonuses, some moderate general utility, and role playing value. The general concensus is they are an optional but not a strong feature. If Paizo improved them in some modest way no one would really object.
