Will post pictures soon as it has arrived at it's destination. It will be certainly a difficult restore project but worth a try IMHO.

No glue is always better than the wrong glue.
But it looks restorable, use a fine medical scalpel to remove the glue .
Only restore if you are absolute sure that the piece will be better. Otherwise an original broken thing is worth more that a bad restored example.
The most difficult part is to remake the birds beak again in harmony with the lines/shape of the rest. My advice would be to make it roughly and that glue it and remodel it when its fastened to get the best result.
