As he died in 1999 anything you can get of his at a reasonable price is getting hard to find. I collect him specifically and there are copies of some of his work out there with good copies of his signature and they are asking high prices for them ie $US1000+
So any genuine piece is worth having. Hint, look for a label (check the labels file above) and forget the signatures he only signed his very best pieces and they are multiple thousands if you can find them.

Thanks for the info, it's all very interesting.  I did check the labels but was unable to find this particular one, which is why I queried whether it was fake. 
I may look to sell the bird, so will enjoy it till then!

Yes the labels file is not complete add yours to it?

I don't collect any of his animals etc so can't suggest whether it is worth hanging onto or not. There is the 'Murano zoo' run by a woman here and she knows a lot about them.

After a bit more research about the making of Murano glass, I checked the base and it is flat, with no punt mark so I can assume it is a fake. 

Thanks for everyone's comments

The base is fine; a pontil mark would be very unusual for something like this
