White Bird with Red Beaded Eyes

I have a white bird with red beaded eyes. Dimensions are about
4 1/2" x 2 1/2" wing to wing at widest width x 1 1/2" from top to back.
On the back of the white bird with red beaded eyes is a circle insertion
section. I was wondering was the use of this circle insertion section
example maybe a small candle holder or flower holder etc... and what
type of bird is this for example turkey? Thank you for your assistance i
n this request. Rob

 

I think you need to take a picture looking straight at the bird's face.

 

Dove I'd guess.

 

Red rhinestone eyes it looks like, not beads.

 

Ok, I added a picture looking straight at the bird's face. Thank you. Rob

 

Id guess a tea candle holder and not terribly old. As an aside,yuor title reminded me of a much loved song I hadnt heard in many a year and I thought Id share it. Some of you may remember it . I remember being very small and my hippie uncle playing it over and over.

 

Dove works for me too.

 

No - Obviously a turkey, look at the tail plus a turkey with a "Snood" hanging!

 

Yes, those are the candles I was trying to remember. Thank you. Rob

 

I had thought pigeon until I took a look at the tail and the snood. Thanks for the reinforcement. Rob

 

That was really touching. Thank you for sharing. Rob
