Interesting ( really strange ) ritual staff or paddle,
Seems old- can be 19th century,
The shaft with the black laquer-paint on a red color reminds me japanese or chinese multi laquered wooden stuff
( Okinawa ceremonial spear-club ...
)
The ''bird head'' as you say seems made of palmwood and looks indonesian/Borneo or, Sepik/Papua New Guinea
(Just a feeling.)
Multicultural mix...?..?.
