Tübingen is actually more famous as the resting place of the similarly aged "Vogelherd Horse", the oldest known sculpture of a horse. On display in the castle museum at the center of town.pic.twitter.com/gcT6djvngN
This small carving of a bird was created 30,000 years ago. The sculpted piece of mammoth ivory, found in the Hohle Fels cave in Germany, may be the earliest representation of a bird (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/3328229.stm …)pic.twitter.com/O4G0A0YqHc

Just cause it looks like a bird don't assume that was the artists intention. Could be a badly carved hot pepper or ergonomic tongue depressor. Probably made by some kid cause their parents were out trying to put food on the table.

What’s always fascinating to me is, why the compulsion to carve them? Are humans wired from the start to create visual interpretations of what is around them?
