Question about Malifaux Crooked Men figure

[War In 15MM]

The Wyrd/Malifaux/Resurrectionist Crooked Men pack has three figures.  I am interested in identifying what the figure with the shovel over his shoulder has in his left hand.  It looks like it could be a small animal like a rat.  If anyone can tell me what it is that he is holding in his left hand, I would appreciate it very much.  Thanks.  Richard

I believe it is a skeleton bird.

[EDIT] After reading the description I bet it is supposed to be a canary skeleton. "The Crooked men are the bodies of miners trapped or crushed by cave-ins, resurrected to either mine more Soulstone or serve as muscle."

Yup, it's a canary skeleton.

Thanks so much.  That makes things very clear.  Really appreciate the help.  Richard

Wow.
It must have been a monster canary it it's day.
