Each area has its own set of deed restrictions. MOST of the Villages deed restrictions state that lawn ornaments of ANY kind are forbidden. However potted plants are allowed. So you could have a pot shaped like a bird, and plant something in it, and that'd be okay. Some people claim that ornaments "under the eaves" of the house (right up against the house itself and not on the lawn or distant flowerbed) are acceptable in some neighborhoods. But you'd have to check each set of community standards to find out what applies in which area.
The Historic section doesn't have that particular restriction, which is why you'll see most homes with some kind of lawn ornaments in the yard or in the flower-beds.
In addition, these deed restrictions are subject to enforcement ONLY when someone complains about a violation. If everyone LIKES the statue under the palm tree on your front lawn, then it's fine to have it there. But as soon as someone complains about it, you have to remove it.
