Default Hood Ornament vs Birds

In the past week, I've killed two birds with the hood ornament of my truck. Not on purpose, but I couldn't have done it better if I tried. Both times, the Ram just sort of ended up twisting a few degrees on it's spring. No damage was observed, but one bird did poop all over my hood on impact.

Reasons Dodge is better than Ford/GM
1. Carnivorous horned sheep hood ornament.

When I bought my Dodge the ornament hole was gone and filled in, painted over. Kinda sucks, thats is one of the reasons I love these old dodges. A real BA hood ornament. Capable of killing animals. Haha.

That's awesome, and makes me wonder, does anyone make replacements of these hood ornaments? Or do we just have to search through junk yards?

I mentioned earlier that I saw them in JC Whitney catalogs a few years back but you might be able to get them still.

Definitely a must-have upgrade. I bet some Dremel work would sharpen up those horns real nice. Don't stop too close to crosswalks.
