Metal Parrot Paperweight from France

Bonjour mesdames et messieurs! We are pleased to bring you this très cool paperweight from France, made of metal (a magnet does not stick to it) and featuring a friendly fence sitting Parrot with a lonnnnng tail. This piece is quite heavy for its size, which is just under 5" tall and 4 3/8" wide. I don't think it began its life as a paperweight as I've spied two screw holes on the underside, but it'll make a dandy one now given its stability and weight. It is unmarked but came to us directly from France (via Germany, that is) and is in grand condition. I have noted a hole under the Parrot's beak, which is obviously original. There is also a bit of greenish tarnish towards the bottom but it only lends to it's charm and proof of age (we are guessing 1940's - 60's). Very detailed, very unusual and very heavy - you'll amour it!
