This is not assumed to be a bird! A rough translation of the first paragraph adjacent to the figure is as follows:-

"These spiral figures are unique. Comparative figures from other sites are often made up of concentric circles. It is assumed/guessed that the figure represents a warrior behind a large shield, with head and feet visible"
Translated by Jon "Moggy" Morris
