Quoted from Wikipedia
"A plague doctor would have worn a beak doctor costume in his role as a specialized doctor. He was known then as a "Beak Doctor". The protective suit consisted of a heavy fabric overcoat that was waxed, a mask of glassed eye openings and a cone shaped like a beak to hold scented substances. Some of the scented materials were amber, balm-mint leaves, camphor, cloves, laudanum, myrrh, rose petals, and storax. A wooden cane pointer was used to help examine the patient without touching.

It's interesting to see you've turned one of those "Beak Doctors" into an actual bird, and a crow even, as if he's inspecting his soon-to-be meal.
The rest of the picture may indicate that it's shredded bits of an illumination glued into a book, but I prefer to think that he's actually staring into a tent after he's just ripped the canvas open.
