This piece not made for burial, made for sale as simulation of antiquity and not like what made for burial.

The bird not a raptor (eagle, falcon) used for hunting as shown in Bill H. example.

Bird in color figurine is parrot not like bird first item.

Sometimes bird mean "good news" (wishing for auspicious event such as pass examination) especially magpie, but bird in first item not look like magpie and not made for auspicious wishes. Such item given as gift in China would be embarrassing, like give new 1-dollar dish to collector 17th-century Kakiemon wares.

Good luck,
Cal
