Featured COPPER & BRASS(?) PARROT & TOUCAN FOUND IN THRIFT STORE TODAY BY SERGIO BUSTAMANTE?

I found these today at a local thrift store, and when I looked up 'brass copper parrot (or Toucan) I got back the name Sergio Bustamante - and photos of his work that look a lot like mine; including close ups of feet (claws?) like mine standing on a ring AND a pole holding the ring that went into a hole between the bird's feet just like mine have!?
The only problem is my parrot measures 12" & the toucan 14 - 14.5" (it's a metal tape measure) - and all the ones I've found by him are much larger.
Did Sergio Bustamante make smaller ones & are mine by him??
Thank you for any info, it is appreciated!

 

Doesn't this look like mine? https://www.etsy.com/listing/827011...ch_query=sergio+bustamante&ref=sr_gallery-1-1

 

Toucan vs. a parrot but... yes.

Still in business. You can always ask.

Yours is missing the ring it sat on or whatever it was supposed to sit on. Thats why there is a hole in the 5th picture

 

They are definitely Sergio Bustamante pieces.

 

He wasn't knocked-off?

Go back to the thrift and find the rings!

 

They weren't there - these were in a tub with toy musical instruments (don't ask me why) & no rings or poles - I looked after seeing description when I googled about them.
Wish I could find one the size of mine - but I'm still hoping to get a nice price for the pair on eBay!
Thank you!

 

Not with the same quality as these Debora

 

The parrot in the link has wire feet....yours are cut sheet copper.....oops, I meas brass...from the looks of the image.

 

This one has feet that are similar and the size is similar I think. Are these ever signed? Too bad about the dented beak.

I think some are signed so maybe look carefully. Couple of examples.

Thanks, but I went over it with a large magnifying glass - twice! lol

 

I posted a link above to Sergio Bustamante's "house." Just to be sure, you might want to contact them.

very nice find

 

Well, with no signatures & the toucan's beak having a split - I accepted $225 for them tonight on eBay (not too bad; I paid $12.95 each) - thanks all for the info!
