Had another go at this one and found what appears to be the matching cockerel, listed on eBay as Seguso.  Have sent a message to the seller re attribution.

Looked at Formia again, and I remember that I thought the colour and body of labelled pieces made it a possible contender, but couldn't find a labelled piece with similar tail detail, and most of the labelled pieces had coloured eyes.

Will post back if I get a reply from the seller.

Had another look at Salviati.  This labelled pair have similarities in the colour and the ombré effect, but the tail feathers are applied and the bases more fancy.  Also the treatment of the wings is quite different.  It would be lovely to think mine is Salviati, but it doesn't feel right to me.

What about a comparison with this Archimede Seguso pair?

catshome:
Thanks John, I did think Seguso was the most likely answer, but I haven't been able to find a labelled example, or a book reference for confirmation.  Were you able to confirm the attribution for yours?  They're rather striking!

glassobsessed:
There are several birds in Pina's book on Seguso which match very well, especially the construction of the beak and eyes along with that quite distinctive tail.

I think it was Anita who identified the pair positively as AS, she was happy enough to include them in the Murano Zoo, lots of AS examples in there spread over 5 pages, starting here:
