Is this a bird fossil

[ccupp2323]

I found this rock when moving a load of limestone I had delivered. I always keep an eye out for what don't belong and this caught my eye when it appeared.  I grabbed it along with the other outta places rocks I saw and upon further inspection, this looks like a fossil not just a rock. The separation for the beak, as well as the beak itself, maybe even the tongue as well, the symmetrical eye sockets, the triangle head shape, the red area almost perfectly lined up with where a spinal cord would be located. Looks like it died laying on its right shoulder with the way the face is contouring and the position of the spinal cord.

Welcome to the forum.

HEIC images can't be displayed, you'll need to convert them to PNG or JPG format. But considering how incredibly rare articulated birds are in the fossil record, I can confidently say without seeing the images that the answer is no.

I downloaded a picture, and can confidently say that this is definetly NOT a bird fossil, as there are no bones, skin shadow, and all other characteristics that would indicate a bird. Its just a rock, as birds dont fossilize in that way.

This is just a rock. It takes a lot of imagination to recognize similarities to a bird.
