Yeah, why not? I don't think the boost to BAB and Will saves sounds particularly necessary, and there's nothing to suggest darkvision in the original.

So, we have Int 5-7. I'd guess the AC is all Dex, so Dex 16-17. I'd put Wis and Str average and Cha around 5-7 again.
 

Kenku has +2 Dexterity, -2 Strength, so you're suggestions seem reasonable.

Str 10, Dex 17, Con 11, Int 6, Wis 11, Cha 7?
 

Looks good. Attacks should just be beak +X (1d6) and maybe dagger for the weapon. I think we have only one special ability to deal with:

Wing Buffet (Ex): As a standard action, a flying manni can buffet an opponent within melee reach with its wings. This does 1d2 hp of damage. In addition, the opponent must make a DC X Fortitude save or be dazed for one round. The save DC is Strength-based.

I went with dazed rather than stunned because it seems like this is intended as a kind of weak ability.
