Featured Art Deco silver plate bird (peacock?)

Hi there, found this guy while at an antique store earlier today. Was curious if anyone knew anything about it or possible value. I found a couple listings for a pair, but wasn’t able to find anything else. There’s a mark on the bottom 'wb mfg. co. model number 2250, copyright usa' for Weidlich Brothers, Bridgeport, CT. And both listings state they are from 1930s. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

 

Hello @Carlin & welcome to the forum.

This style of bird is usually referred to as a Bird of Paradise.

Very nice piece!!

 

Not much, but this is the best I've found ...

This is the pair. 1st dibs prices are usually excessive.

 

Just popping in to say how beautiful your bird is!!

 

Agree. Handsome piece.

 

Thank you all for your help and feedback!!☺️

 

I would have said Bird of Paradise as well. Here are two jade birds of Paradise that I found online. Sometimes things are misrepresented. That tail doesn't look like a peacock to me. The stance and top feather crest also don't look peacock.
