Asking for advice on what type of bird this may be? 

Sometimes jewelry pieces are a fantasy whimsical design and not an actual bird, animal etc. Wondering if there's a bird with a blue belly and that beak.

Google lens didn't help.

TIA

@rockygems123.  Did you forget something, like the picture?

@rockygems123   Would love to offer advice but don't see anything...

@Spacrazy @Kachina624  I sure did forget!  Here it is:

Stylized kookaburra??

With birds and animals there's  often a lot of artistic license.  In other words, anything goes.

The real thing

Kookaburra is a good one!  I just looked them up and they are part of the Kingfisher family that have funny hair like the pin has.

I'm also thinking Kookaburra. It's unusual and I really like it! Lately I'm gathering brooches and have random pieces of several generations I'm going to shadow box for presentation/display at an upcoming family reunion next year.

My guess was gonna be a kingfisher. We have them around here.

That sounds absolutely wonderful!  They're little pieces of art work and capture a place in time, your family will love it.

So nice to see value placed on vintage pieces.
