If that pin is supposed to be an Ibis it would be Egyptian in origin.

Europe is famous for storks which nest in the same place as couples year after year. No Ibis worship in Britain.

The caption doesn't say flamingo or ibis, merely "golden bird". But ibis is probably a good guess, as is heron, stork, etc. I think the flamingo is an American critter, so, longshot.
