Hellenic Diaspora Foundation, online collection catalogue, Bird, record 6808. Institution-reported collection; object photograph compared with the Archive record. Checked 8 September 2026: https://www.hellenicdiaspora.org/home/portfolio-item/constantin-andreou-6808/
The institution’s record gives 1963 and dimensions of 41 × 70 × 11 cm, differing from the date and measurements above. Its English version describes brass on a wooden base, while its Greek version says “Μπρούντζος σε ξύλινη βάση” (bronze on a wooden base), agreeing with Mortaki’s material identification. Its photographs show the same form from another side. The Archive retains 1956, bronze, and 68 × 28 × 19 cm; the discrepancies remain unresolved.

Comparative reference, identification unconfirmed: Michèle Dubreucq, Andréou: 40 ans de sculpture. Chennevières-sur-Marne: Éditions Jauffray, 1975, p. 203, catalogue no. 207. This entry lists Oiseau under 1963, with dimensions of 70 × 43 × 11 cm and an artist-collection credit. No illustration reference is printed beside the entry. The page is linked from the institution’s record, but the title and measurements alone do not establish that no. 207 refers to this sculpture.
