A little brother for my Kiki big foot!
This one is smaller, 9 centimeters or 4.5".
Marked Geschütz (registered) under one wing and Bergm... for Bergmann under the other.
Lacking the mount, but I managed to find an old black crucifix to give him a stand :-)
Pics 3 and 4 are as I got him, 1 and 2 after some Kyratisation/patina.
As you can see, I'm in birdie mood... will have to play golf again ;-D

Hi Kyra, looks like an Australian Galah, I used to see them all the time when I lived in Aussi, and a couple of friends had them as pets.
From Wiki: The galah (Eolophus roseicapilla) also known as the rose-breasted cockatoo, galah cockatoo, roseate cockatoo or pink and grey, is one of the most common and widespread cockatoos, and it can be found in open country in almost all parts of mainland Australia.
Paul, you're right! Love these pink clowns!
Many thanks for taking the time to visit and leave such an interesting comment!
A huge collective thanks to all of you, 12 lovers :-D
Thank you Jean, Marga and Mani for your highly appreciated visit and loves :-)
A Bergman bronze....wowza!
Here to see a group of them with the mount:

A wonderful galah!
Haha, Trey, thank you for your funny comment! Will call him Lil Kiki :-)
Karen, I'd love to have a living one, or see them in nature as you may be able to ;-D
Thank you!
Beautiful bird, kyratango!!! And that is an amazing bowl through the link, what do you suppose it was for? Easter eggs? Egg salad? :) Love the Kikis. And Ziggy! :))
Thanks Sean for the love :-)
Katherine, I'm glad you love all the birdies, real or bronze :-))
For the centerpiece, perhaps for sweets or cookies???

Need to find a same wooden base for mine :-)
Wow that birdie is worth his weight in gold:)
A cuckoo seller??? :-D
Lol, Trey!
Update, Little Kiki got a stand!
Bought an old crucifix for 2€ and "destroyed" it to get the turned wood base, vertical stick and bone finials.
Kiki is perched on a sacrificed chopstick, which tapered shape allowed the tight adjustment to his feet.
Now he can be used as a ring stand too :-))
LIL Kiki!!!!! He looks so grown up now:)
Lil'Kiki grrrreeets you, Trey! ;-))
