    Pie birds - talk to OLD time bakers. They were ceramic items placed in a pie to keep pies from boiling over in the oven. Most were in the shape of birds hence the name pie bird but they came in other shapes. With the advent of tighter temperature controls on gas & electric ovens, they were not needed so either got thrown out or used as decorations in kitchens.
