Is this allowed? Do you actually know one way or another? I'm asking because I recently 'heard' someone got dinged for having them. But what about the other 6999 houses?

No. I don't want to call TV- I don't want them even knowing what I thinking.
They are classified as lawn ornaments and as such are a violation of the deed restrictions. But like you said, there are countless homes with metal bird sculptures in their yards. You would think that somebody would try a little individuality & display something besides a bird instead of just copying everyone else. Then again, the cookie-cutter houses all look the same so why not have cookie-cutter lawn ornaments. It adds to that Twilight Zone/Stepford vibe!
