A bird hair accessory used to decorate the iconic beehive of singer-songwriter Amy Winehouse during her performance on a British television show, which aired on 24 November 2006. Winehouse appeared alongside Matt Lucas and David Walliams, and performed her hit song "You Know I'm No Good". This lot comes from the collection of professional hair stylist Tracey Cahoon, who worked with Winehouse from 2003 to 2010.

Winehouse's hair was the main topic of conversation between the guests, with Winehouse referring to it as her "bird's nest". Several birds adorned her large beehive, along with a miniature model of a Mexican man named Pedro, which Winehouse described as a "BBC prop department relic".

The bird comprises a foam body covered in grey, brown and white feathers. It features a pair of yellow bead eyes, a plastic beak and yellow plastic feet with thin metal wire attached. The feathers exhibit minor wear, and the legs remain fragile and should be handled carefully. Dimensions: 7.5 cm x 3 cm x 4 cm (3" x 1 1/4" x 1 1/2")

Estimate: £2,000 - 4,000 M
