Death bird isn't 'bás éan'.
Im a little unsure about what you mean exactly:

Éan an bháis would be death bird/bird of death
Éan bheatha - bird of life

Éan bheatha an bháis maybe gruebel

Bird of life of death???

Definitely wait for more! Wink

"death bird" seems to be one unit, further modified by "life."

death bird = éan báis

death bird of life = éan báis na beatha

I hold down ctrl and alt and press the letter but there are letters already accented above the text box that you can just click on! I have to be awkward!
