Dona i Ocell, or Woman and Bird, is a sculpture by Joan Miró in Joan Miró Park in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain. Miró designed it, and his collaborator Joan Gardy Artigas added the tiles. It was completed in 1982 or 1983, since sources vary. It was commissioned as the last of a trilogy welcoming visitors to Barcelona, but the article does not name the commissioning body.
The sculpture is 72 feet (22 meters) tall and 10 feet (3 meters) wide. A concrete structure carries a covering of glazed tile mosaic in primary colors. It rises from an artificial lake.
The article describes forms that draw on the themes of women and birds, including a split lined with blackish tiles.
